Linus Torvalds ef0ba05538 poll: fix performance regression due to out-of-line __put_user() 
The kernel test robot reported a -5.8% performance regression on the
"poll2" test of will-it-scale, and bisected it to commit d55564cfc2
("x86: Make __put_user() generate an out-of-line call").

I didn't expect an out-of-line __put_user() to matter, because no normal
core code should use that non-checking legacy version of user access any
more.  But I had overlooked the very odd poll() usage, which does a
__put_user() to update the 'revents' values of the poll array.

Now, Al Viro correctly points out that instead of updating just the
'revents' field, it would be much simpler to just copy the _whole_
pollfd entry, and then we could just use "copy_to_user()" on the whole
array of entries, the same way we use "copy_from_user()" a few lines
earlier to get the original values.

But that is not what we've traditionally done, and I worry that threaded
applications might be concurrently modifying the other fields of the
pollfd array.  So while Al's suggestion is simpler - and perhaps worth
trying in the future - this instead keeps the "just update revents"
model.

To fix the performance regression, use the modern "unsafe_put_user()"
instead of __put_user(), with the proper "user_write_access_begin()"
guarding in place. This improves code generation enormously.
