[PATCH 2/5] uaccess: Add speculation barrier to copy_from_user_iter()

[Christophe Leroy]

The results of "access_ok()" can be mis-speculated.  The result is that
you can end speculatively:

	if (access_ok(from, size))
		// Right here

For the same reason as done in copy_from_user() by
commit 74e19ef0ff80 ("uaccess: Add speculation barrier to
copy_from_user()"), add a speculation barrier to copy_from_user_iter().

See commit 74e19ef0ff80 ("uaccess: Add speculation barrier to
copy_from_user()") for more details.
