Pull hardened usercopy updates from Kees Cook:
 "This cleans up a minor Kconfig issue and adds a kernel boot option for
  disabling hardened usercopy for distro users that may have corner-case
  performance issues (e.g. high bandwidth small-packet UDP traffic).

  Summary:

   - drop unneeded Kconfig "select BUG" (Kamal Mostafa)

   - add "hardened_usercopy=off" rare performance needs (Chris von
     Recklinghausen)"
