Covvert raw serialized_data to KHO serializeable pointer (KHOSER_PTR).
This series also takes care of resolving the bug with memfd of using
phys_to_virt before checking the args->serialized_data value.

Tarun Sahu (2):
  kho: add KHOSER_COPY_TYPE(UN)SAFE for phys copy
  luo: Update serialized data to serializeable pointer

Adding KHOSER_COPY_TYPESAFE and KHOSER_COPY_TYPEUNSAFE to copy one
serializeable pointer to another. It basically allows copy of phys val
of the serializeable pointer.

Currently luo_file_ser, luo_file and liveupdate_file_op_args use the raw
serialized_data which stores the phys address of the serialized data. There
are two issues
1. It uses raw update, and there is not type safety check
2. user of liveupdate_file_op_args, uses virt_to_phys and phys_to_virt
   to convert the serializeable pointer to physical address and vice versa.
   User makes mistakes mistake to check the serializeable pointer/phys
   value check before converting like in memfd_luo.

Converting them to serializeable pointer enforce type safety check ( it has
its limitation as you can not have generic serializeable pointer for all
the subsystem. So only void * is the only choice, and updating it require
user to use KHOSER_COPY_TYPEUNSAFE) and the null value check.

This patch also updates the memfd_luo to use the newly introduced the
serializeable pointer. Which mitigates the issue of not checking
args->serialized_data pointer before using it.

Fixes: b3749f174d68 ("mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd")
