Linus Torvalds 0b2c8f8b6b i915: fix missing user_access_end() in page fault exception case
When commit fddcd00a49 ("drm/i915: Force the slow path after a
user-write error") unified the error handling for various user access
problems, it didn't do the user_access_end() that is needed for the
unsafe_put_user() case.

It's not a huge deal: a missed user_access_end() will only mean that
SMAP protection isn't active afterwards, and for the error case we'll be
returning to user mode soon enough anyway.  But it's wrong, and adding
the proper user_access_end() is trivial enough (and doing it for the
other error cases where it isn't needed doesn't hurt).

I noticed it while doing the same prep-work for changing
user_access_begin() that precipitated the access_ok() changes in commit
96d4f267e4 ("Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function").

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
