This reverts commit a1f33941f7.
The unsafe accessors allow the PAN enable/disable calls to be made
once for a group of accesses. Adding these means we can now have
sequences that look like this:
| user_access_begin();
| unsafe_put_user(static-value, x, err);
| unsafe_put_user(helper-that-sleeps(), x, err);
| user_access_end();
Calling schedule() without taking an exception doesn't switch the
PSTATE or TTBRs. We can switch out of a uaccess-enabled region, and
run other code with uaccess enabled for a different thread.
We can also switch from uaccess-disabled code back into this region,
meaning the unsafe_put_user()s will fault.
For software-PAN, threads that do this will get stuck as
handle_mm_fault() will determine the page has already been mapped in,
but we fault again as the page tables aren't loaded.
To solve this we need code in __switch_to() that save/restores the
PAN state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
