[PATCH v12 03/12] sched_setattr: switch to copy_struct_{to,from}_user()

From: Aleksa Sarai
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 16:21:04 EST


The change is very straightforward, and takes advantage of the (very
minor) efficiency improvements in copy_struct_{to,from}_user() -- that
the memchr_inv() check is done on a buffer instead of one-at-at-time
with get_user() or put_user().
