uaccess: reimplement probe_kernel_address() using probe_kernel_read()

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().

The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT.  All callers have been checked, none cared.

probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot.  parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking.  Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.

My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.

This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes.  For a single
probe_kernel_address() callsite.
