Likewise, how do we handle __flush_cache_user_range and
flush_icache_range? Some callers (e.g. __do_compat_cache_op) pass in
__user addresses.
Also EXEC_USERSPACE in lkdtm passes a user space address to flush_icache_range
and causes the process to hang when I tested these patches on HiKey.

Adding uaccess_{enable,disable}_not_uao to __flush_cache_user_range appears to
fix the problem.
