Subject[PATCH 3.16 278/346] ARC: uaccess: get_user to zero out dest in cause of fault
3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <Vineet.Gupta1@synopsys.com>

commit 05d9d0b96e53c52a113fd783c0c97c830c8dc7af upstream.

Al reported potential issue with ARC get_user() as it wasn't clearing
out destination pointer in case of fault due to bad address etc.

Verified using following

| {
| u32 bogus1 = 0xdeadbeef;
| u64 bogus2 = 0xdead;
| int rc1, rc2;
|
| pr_info("Orig values %x %llx\n", bogus1, bogus2);
| rc1 = get_user(bogus1, (u32 __user *)0x40000000);
| rc2 = get_user(bogus2, (u64 __user *)0x50000000);
| pr_info("access %d %d, new values %x %llx\n",
| rc1, rc2, bogus1, bogus2);
| }

| [ARCLinux]# insmod /mnt/kernel-module/qtn.ko
| Orig values deadbeef dead
| access -14 -14, new values 0 0
