[PATCH 1/1] x86/lib: Revert to _ASM_EXTABLE_UA() for {get,put}_user() fixups

From: Qiuxu Zhuo

During the memory error injection test on kernels >= v6.4, kernel
panics occurred like below. However, this issue couldn't be
reproduced on kernels <= v6.3.

mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 296: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134
mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffff821b9776> {__get_user_nocheck_4+0x6/0x20}
mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 411a93533ed ADDR 346a8730040 MISC 86
mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:a06d0 TIME 1706000767 SOCKET 1 APIC 211 microcode 80001490
mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check

MCE can recover from an in-kernel #MC if the fixup type is EX_TYPE_UACCESS,
explicitly indicating that the kernel is attempting to access userspace
memory. However, MCE can only panic the kernel for an in-kernel #MC if the
fixup type is EX_TYPE_DEFAULT as it includes various fixup types that MCE
may not recover from.

ex_handler_uaccess() would throw a #GP WARN_ONCE() if users gave
non-canonical addresses (with bit 63 clear) to {get, put}_user(), which was
unexpected. Therefore, the previous commit 'b19b74bc99b1' replaced
_ASM_EXTABLE_UA() with _ASM_EXTABLE() for {get, put}_user() fixups where
the corresponding exception handler ex_handler_default() does not have
a #GP WARN_ONCE(). However, the new fixup type EX_TYPE_DEFAULT resulted
in the mentioned kernel panic.

The subsequent commit '6014bc27561f2' (merged in v6.4) added the check
gp_fault_address_ok() right before #GP WARN_ONCE() in ex_handler_uaccess().
This check can avoid the #GP WARN_ONCE() for a non-canonical address (with
bit63 clear) in ex_handler_uaccess().

So with the subsequent commit '6014bc27561f2', now it's OK to revert to
_ASM_EXTABLE_UA() for {get,put}_user() exception fixups as it can both
avoid the #GP WARN_ONCE() in ex_handler_uaccess() and fix the panic
mentioned above.
