Patch series "clean up address limit helpers", v2. In preparation for eventually phasing out direct use of set_fs(), this series removes the segment_eq() arch helper that is only used to implement or duplicate the uaccess_kernel() API, and then adds descriptive helpers to force the kernel address limit. This patch (of 6): Use the uaccess_kernel helper instead of duplicating it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
