Use the new batched user accesses in generic user string handling
This converts the generic user string functions to use the batched user access functions. It makes a big difference on Skylake, which is the first x86 microarchitecture to implement SMAP. The STAC/CLAC instructions are not very fast, and doing them for each access inside the loop that copies strings from user space (which is what the pathname handling does for every pathname the kernel uses, for example) is very inefficient.
