x86/kasan: instrument user memory access API
Exchange between user and kernel memory is coded in assembly language. Which means that such accesses won't be spotted by KASAN as a compiler instruments only C code. Add explicit KASAN checks to user memory access API to ensure that userspace writes to (or reads from) a valid kernel memory. Note: Unlike others strncpy_from_user() is written mostly in C and KASAN sees memory accesses in it. However, it makes sense to add explicit check for all @count bytes that *potentially* could be written to the kernel.
