It's fairly unusual to have out of line get_user/put_user functions.
What is the reason for this, other than copying from ARM?

The purpose of these symbols is to provoke a link error when you
pass the wrong data into get_user/put_user. Actually defining them
completely breaks this logic, so you should remove these!
