Cute...  That's unsafe_put_user() bug, actually.  There's no unsafe_put_user()
callers in mainline and it's fairly early in the cycle.  Linus, do you have
any problems with that one?  If not, I'll send a pull request with it + osf_wait4()
fix...

fix unsafe_put_user()

__put_user_size() relies upon its first argument having the same type as what
the second one points to; the only other user makes sure of that and
unsafe_put_user() should do the same.
