maccess: unexport probe_kernel_write()
Patch series "clean up and streamline probe_kernel_* and friends", v4. This series start cleaning up the safe kernel and user memory probing helpers in mm/maccess.c, and then allows architectures to implement the kernel probing without overriding the address space limit and temporarily allowing access to user memory. It then switches x86 over to this new mechanism by reusing the unsafe_* uaccess logic. This version also switches to the saner copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault naming suggested by Linus. I kept the x86 helpers as-is without calling unsage_{get,put}_user as that avoids a number of hard to trace casts, and it will still work with the asm-goto based version easily. This patch (of 20): probe_kernel_write() is not used by any modular code.
