x86, mm: Redesign get_user with a __builtin_choose_expr hack
Instead of using a bitfield, use an odd little trick using typeof,
__builtin_choose_expr, and sizeof. __builtin_choose_expr is
explicitly defined to not convert its type (its argument is required
to be a constant expression) so this should be well-defined.
The code is still not 100% preturbation-free versus the baseline
before 64-bit get_user(), but the differences seem to be very small,
mostly related to padding and to gcc deciding when to spill registers.
