This patch converts emulate_spe() to using user_access_begin
logic.
Since commit 662bbcb274 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()"), might_fault() doesn't fire when called from
sections where pagefaults are disabled, which must be the case
when using _inatomic variants of __get_user and __put_user. So
the might_fault() in user_access_begin() is not a problem.
There was a verification of user_mode() together with the access_ok(),
but there is a second verification of user_mode() just after, that
leads to immediate return. The access_ok() is now part of the
user_access_begin which is called after that other user_mode()
verification, so no need to check user_mode() again.

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.
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.
