[S390] uaccess: implement strict user copy checks
Same as on x86 and sparc, besides the fact that enabling the option will just emit compile time warnings instead of errors. Keeps allyesconfig kernels compiling. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

+ ---help---
+ Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
+ copy operations into compile time warnings.
+
+ The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
+ are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
+ the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
+ within bounds.
+
+ If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N.
