[PATCH v2 0/4] lib: introduce copy_struct_from_user() helper

Patch changelog:
 v2:
  * Switch to less buggy handling of alignment. [Linus Torvalds, Al Viro]
  * Move is_zeroed_user() to lib/usercopy.c. [kbuild test robot]
  * Move copy_struct_to_user() to lib/usercopy.c. [Christian Brauner]
  * Add self-tests for is_zeroed_user() to lib/test_user_copy.c.

This series was split off from the openat2(2) syscall discussion[1].
However, the copy_struct_to_user() helper has been dropped, because
after some discussion it appears that there is no really obvious
semantics for how copy_struct_to_user() should work on mixed-vintages
(for instance, whether [2] is the correct semantics for all syscalls).

A common pattern for syscall extensions is increasing the size of a
struct passed from userspace, such that the zero-value of the new fields
result in the old kernel behaviour (allowing for a mix of userspace and
kernel vintages to operate on one another in most cases).

Previously there was no common lib/ function that implemented
the necessary extension-checking semantics (and different syscalls
implemented them slightly differently or incompletely[3]). This series
implements the helper and ports several syscalls to use it.

[2]: commit 1251201c0d34 ("sched/core: Fix uclamp ABI bug, clean up and
     robustify sched_read_attr() ABI logic and code")

[3]: For instance {sched_setattr,perf_event_open,clone3}(2) all do do
     similar checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2)
     always rejects differently-sized struct arguments.
