sparc: Kill user copy check code. 

For whatever reason GCC isn't able to figure things out in
the control flow (in particular when min() and max() expressions
are involved) on sparc as well as it can on x86.

So lots of useless incorrect user copy warnings get spewed and the
full-on compile failure mode of the user copy checks were never usable
on sparc at all.

People can debug these kinds of problems on x86.

---help---
Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
copy operations into compile time failures.
The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
within bounds.
If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N.
