Catalin Marinas d563d678aa fs: Handle intra-page faults in copy_mount_options()
The copy_mount_options() function takes a user pointer argument but no
size and it tries to read up to a PAGE_SIZE. However, copy_from_user()
is not guaranteed to return all the accessible bytes if, for example,
the access crosses a page boundary and gets a fault on the second page.
To work around this, the current copy_mount_options() implementation
performs two copy_from_user() passes, first to the end of the current
page and the second to what's left in the subsequent page.

On arm64 with MTE enabled, access to a user page may trigger a fault
after part of the buffer in a page has been copied (when the user
pointer tag, bits 56-59, no longer matches the allocation tag stored in
memory). Allow copy_mount_options() to handle such intra-page faults by
resorting to byte at a time copy in case of copy_from_user() failure.

Note that copy_from_user() handles the zeroing of the kernel buffer in
case of error.
