Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.8-rc6-part2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull more hardened usercopyfixes from Kees Cook:

 - force check_object_size() to be inline too

 - move page-spanning check behind a CONFIG since it's triggering false
   positives

[ Changed the page-spanning config option to depend on EXPERT in the
  merge.  That way it still gets build testing, and you can enable it if
  you want to, but is never enabled for "normal" configurations ]

* tag 'usercopy-v4.8-rc6-part2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
  usercopy: remove page-spanning test for now
  usercopy: force check_object_size() inline
