Linus Torvalds 4ae73f2d53 x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine 
The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian.  And on
little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
don't care about).

But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
the little-endian optimizations.  But before we do that, switch over to
the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
thing.
