OK, nothing else was suggessted, I assume Kosaki agrees.
So rename conditional_ptr to user_arg_ptr.
Also rename get_user_ptr() to get_user_arg_ptr(). It was suggested to
use the same "user_arg_ptr" for this helper too, but this is not
grep-friendly. As for get_ in the name... Well, I can redo again ;)
But this matches get_user() and this is all what this helper does.
Otherwise unchanged.
Oleg.
