The patching page set up as a writable alias may be in quadrant 0 (userspace) if the temporary mm path is used. This causes sanitiser failures if so. Sanitiser failures also occur on the non-mm path because the plain memset family is instrumented, and KASAN treats the patching window as poisoned.
Introduce locally defined patch_* variants of memset that perform an uninstrumented lower level set, as well as detecting write errors like the original single patch variant does. copy_to_user() is not correct here, as the PTE makes it a proper kernel page (the EAA is privileged access only, RW). It just happens to be in quadrant 0 because that's the hardware's mechanism for using the current PID vs PID 0 in translations. Importantly, it's incorrect to allow user page accesses. Now that the patching memsets are used, we also propagate a failure up to the caller as the single patch variant does.
