Already switched, I didn't know about clear_user() -- I assumed it
would've been called bzero_user() or memzero_user() and didn't find it
when looking.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean -- are you asking why we need to
do memchr_inv(src + size, 0, rest) earlier?

I would argue it's harder to mess up using "rest" compared to getting
"ksize - usize" and "usize - ksize" mixed up (and it's a bit more
readable).

As discussed in a sister thread, I will leave this in the callers
(though I would argue callers should always do some kind of sanity check
like this).

Why is memchr_inv() overkill?

But yes, breaking this out to an asm-generic is_all_zeroes_user()
wouldn't hurt -- and I'll put a cleaned-up version of the alignment
handling there too. Should I drop it in asm-generic/uaccess.h, or
somewhere else?
