The function do_alignment can handle misaligned address for user and
kernel space. If it is a userspace access, do_alignment may fail on
a low-memory situation, because page faults are disabled in
probe_kernel_address.

Fix this by using __copy_from_user stead of probe_kernel_address.

Fixes: b255188 ("ARM: fix scheduling while atomic warning in alignment handling code")
Signed-off-by: Jing Xiangfeng <redacted>
NAK.

The "scheduling while atomic warning in alignment handling code" is
caused by fixing up the page fault while trying to handle the
mis-alignment fault generated from an instruction in atomic context.

Your patch re-introduces that bug.
