arm64: Cortex-A53 errata workaround: check for kernel addresses
Commit 7dd01aef0557 ("arm64: trap userspace "dc cvau" cache operation on errata-affected core") adds code to execute cache maintenance instructions in the kernel on behalf of userland on CPUs with certain ARM CPU errata. It turns out that the address hasn't been checked to be a valid user space address, allowing userland to clean cache lines in kernel space. Fix this by introducing an address check before executing the instructions on behalf of userland. Since the address doesn't come via a syscall parameter, we can't just reject tagged pointers and instead have to remove the tag when checking against the user address limit.
