On s390 access_ok is a macro which discards all parameters and always
returns 1. This can result in compile warnings which warn about unused
variables like this:
fs/read_write.c: In function 'rw_copy_check_uvector':
fs/read_write.c:684:16: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable]
Fix this by adding a __range_ok() function which consumes all parameters
but still always returns 1.

This patch introduces the new function memcpy_absolute() that allows to
copy memory using absolute addressing. This means that the prefix swap
does not apply when this function is used.
With this patch also all s390 kernel code that accesses absolute zero
now uses the new memcpy_absolute() function. The old and less generic
copy_to_absolute_zero() function is removed.

Turn __access_ok() into a define and add a __chk_user_ptr() call
instead.

Same as on x86 and sparc, besides the fact that enabling the option
will just emit compile time warnings instead of errors.
Keeps allyesconfig kernels compiling.

The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the
do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies
with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This
patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception()
directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to
do_exception() to specify the fault address.
