Subject: [PATCH 21/23] usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0
With all known usercopied cache whitelists now defined in the kernel, switch
the default usercopy region of kmem_cache_create() to size 0. Any new caches
with usercopy regions will now need to use kmem_cache_create_usercopy()
instead of kmem_cache_create().
This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
