We have a might_fault() check in __unsafe_put_user_goto(), but that is
dangerous as it potentially calls lots of code while user access is
enabled.
It also triggers the check Alexey added to the irq restore path to
catch cases like that:
WARNING: CPU: 30 PID: 1 at arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/kup.h:324

So remove the might fault check from unsafe_put_user().
Any call to unsafe_put_user() must be inside a region that's had user
access enabled with user_access_begin(), so move the might_fault() in
there. That also allows us to drop the is_kernel_addr() test, because
there should be no code using user_access_begin() in order to access a
kernel address.
