* happens, handle that and return -EFAULT.
* We ensure that the __get_user() is executed in atomic context so that
* do_page_fault() doesn't attempt to take mmap_sem. This makes
* probe_kernel_address() suitable for use within regions where the caller
* already holds mmap_sem, or other locks which nest inside mmap_sem.
* This must be a macro because __get_user() needs to know the types of the
* args.
*
* We don't include enough header files to be able to do the set_fs(). We
* require that the probe_kernel_address() caller will do that.
