commit 0c8eb2884a42d992c7726539328b7d3568f22143 upstream.

When switching from __get_user to fault_in_pages_readable, commit
9f9eae5ce717 broke kvm_use_magic_page: like __get_user,
fault_in_pages_readable returns 0 on success.

I've not heard back from the maintainers about this patch so far, so
it would probably be safer to leave it out of stable for now.

What do you mean exactly? It's upstream.
