KVM: MIPS: Use uaccess to read/modify guest instructions
Now that we have GVA page tables, use standard user accesses with page faults disabled to read & modify guest instructions. This should be more robust (than the rather dodgy method of accessing guest mapped segments by just directly addressing them) and will also work with Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) host kernel configurations where dedicated instructions are needed for accessing user mode memory. For simplicity and speed we do this regardless of the guest segment the address resides in, rather than handling guest KSeg0 specially with kmap_atomic() as before.
