x86: Add a Kconfig option to turn the copy_from_user warnings into errors
For automated testing it is useful to have the option to turn
the warnings on copy_from_user() etc checks into errors:
In function ‘copy_from_user’,
inlined from ‘fd_copyin’ at drivers/block/floppy.c:3080,
inlined from ‘fd_ioctl’ at drivers/block/floppy.c:3503:
linux/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:213:
error: call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared with attribute error:
copy_from_user buffer size is not provably correct
