[PATCH] probe_kernel_address() needs to do set_fs()

probe_kernel_address() purports to be generic, only it forgot to select
KERNEL_DS, so it presently won't work right on all architectures.

......@@ -65,14 +65,22 @@ static inline unsigned long __copy_from_user_nocache(void *to,
* do_page_fault() doesn't attempt to take mmap_sem. This makes
* probe_kernel_address() suitable for use within regions where the caller
* already holds mmap_sem, or other locks which nest inside mmap_sem.
* This must be a macro because __get_user() needs to know the types of the
* args.

* We don't include enough header files to be able to do the set_fs(). We
* require that the probe_kernel_address() caller will do that.
