4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 59275a0c037ed6fabd6354730f1e3104264ab719 ] We transiently switch to KERNEL_DS in compat_ptrace_gethbpregs() and compat_ptrace_sethbpregs(), but in either case this is pointless as we don't perform any uaccess during this window. let's rip out the redundant addr_limit manipulation.
