Christophe Leroy 4322c8f81c lib/strn*,uaccess: Use masked_user_{read/write}_access_begin when required
Properly use masked_user_read_access_begin() and
masked_user_write_access_begin() instead of masked_user_access_begin() in
order to match user_read_access_end() and user_write_access_end().  This is
important for architectures like PowerPC that enable separately user reads
and user writes.

That means masked_user_read_access_begin() is used when user memory is
exclusively read during the window and masked_user_write_access_begin()
is used when user memory is exclusively writen during the window.
masked_user_access_begin() remains and is used when both reads and
writes are performed during the open window. Each of them is expected
to be terminated by the matching user_read_access_end(),
user_write_access_end() and user_access_end().
