Yes, it's because of the user access changes.  The uaccess_with_memcpy()
code got broken, and despite trying to fix it, it seems that it's still
broken.  I'll try again to fix it in the next few days.

In any case, unless you have a Marvell platform, you should have this
disabled - it provides a performance boost for Marvell platforms, but
degrades performance everywhere else.  Please ensure that you disable
CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY.
