[PATCH v2 2/2] riscv/mm: Prevent kernel module to access user memory without uaccess routines

[Eric Lin]

We found this issue in an legacy out-of-tree kernel module
which didn't properly access user space pointer by get/put_user().
Such an illegal access loops in the page fault handler.
To resolve this, let it die here.
