This patch set contains a handful of fixes that clean up the sparse
results for the RISC-V port. These patches shouldn't have any
functional difference. The patches:
* Use NULL instead of 0.
* Clean up __user annotations.
* Split __copy_user into two functions, to make the __user annotations
valid.

We use a single __copy_user assembly function to copy memory both from
and to userspace. While this works, it triggers sparse errors because
we're implicitly casting between the kernel and user address spaces by
calling __copy_user.
This patch splits the C declaration into a pair of functions,
__asm_copy_{to,from}_user, that have sane semantics WRT __user. This
split make things fine from sparse's point of view. The assembly
implementation keeps a single definition but add a double ENTRY() for it,
one for __asm_copy_to_user and another one for __asm_copy_from_user.
The result is a spare-safe implementation that pays no performance
or code size penalty.

A piece of fixup code is currently shared by __copy_user and
__clear_user. It first disables the access to user-space memory
and then returns the "n" argument, which represents #(bytes not processed).
However,__copy_user's "n" is in register a2, while __clear_user's in a1,
and thus it causes errors for programs like setdomainname02 testcase in LTP.
This patch fixes this issue by separating their fixup code and returning
the right value for the kernel to handle a relative fault properly.

This patch contains code that is more specific to the RISC-V ISA than it
is to Linux. It contains string and math operations, C wrappers for
various assembly instructions, stack walking code, and uaccess.
