Properly type the operands being passed to __put_user()/__get_user().
Otherwise, these routines truncate data for dependent instructions
(e.g., INSW) and only read/write one byte.

Tested: Tested by sending a string with `REP OUTSW` to a port and then
reading it back in with `REP INSW` on the same port. Previous behavior
was to only send and receive the first char of the size. For example,
word operations for "abcd" would only read/write "ac". With change, the
full string is now written and read back.
