Subject: [PATCH] usercopy: Allow runtime disabling of usercopy fallback

Distributions are likely to build with
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK, but individual sites may wish to
disable that functionality. Add a sysctl that allows the fallback to be
disabled and then forbids any attempt to re-enable it.

+If 1, attempts to copy data from userland will generate a kernel warning
+if the target has not been whitelisted, but will still be permitted. If 0,
+this will result in a kernel BUG(). This may be set from 1 to 0 at runtime,
