The Microblaze implementations of get_user() and (MMU) put_user() evaluate
the address argument more than once. This causes unexpected side-effects for
invocations that include increment operators, i.e. get_user(foo, bar++).
This patch also removes the distinction between MMU and noMMU put_user().
Without the patch:
$ echo 1234567890 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
12345

Here is small regression on dhrystone tests and I think
that on all benchmarking tests. It is due to better checking
mechanism in put_user macro

This is the first patch which does uaccess unification.
I choosed to do several patches to be able to use bisect
in future if any fault happens.

This is first patch which clear part of uaccess.h.
uaccess.h will be clear later.

For 64bits arguments gcc caused that put_user macro
works with wrong value because of optimalization.
Adding volatile caused that gcc not optimized it.
It is possible to use (as Blackfin do) two put_user
macros with 32bits arguments but there is one more
instruction which is due to duplication zero return
value which is called put_user_asm macro.

This function was actually causing harm, by hiding
errors about invalid sized get_user/put_user accesses.
