[PATCHv2] arm: put_user: fix possible data corruption in put_user

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Tue May 06 2014 - 03:21:19 EST


According to arm procedure call standart r2 register is call-cloberred.
So after the result of x expression was put into r2 any following
function call in p may overwrite r2. To fix this, the result of p
expression must be saved to the temporary variable before the
assigment x expression to __r2.
