Re: [PATCH v3 0/4] MIPS: Remove get_fs/set_fs

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

Btw, there is a bunch of cleanups that would fit in nicely on top of
this:

 - remove the unused __invoke_copy_from function
 - fold __get_user_check into get_user as it is the only caller
 - fold __get_user_nocheck into __get_user as it is the only caller
 - fold __put_user_check into put_user as it is the only caller
 - fold __put_user_nocheck into __put_user as it is the only caller
 - implement get_user in terms of __get_user to document the difference
   better and to remove __get_user_common
 - implement put_user in terms of __put_user to document the difference
   better and to remove __get_user_common
 - remove __put_user_unknown/__get_user_unknown and replace them with
   BUILD_BUG_ON()
