arm64: Use pointer masking to limit uaccess speculation




From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>

commit 4d8efc2d5ee4c9ccfeb29ee8afd47a8660d0c0ce upstream.

Similarly to x86, mitigate speculation past an access_ok() check by
masking the pointer against the address limit before use.

Even if we don't expect speculative writes per se, it is plausible that
a CPU may still speculate at least as far as fetching a cache line for
writing, hence we also harden put_user() and clear_user() for peace of
mind.
