The first issue could be fixed; we could clear the flags.  The second
issue is what matters.  If we're getting EFAULT, we're not going to be
moving any flags around.  We should just return the EFAULT and be done
with it.

I can't recommend this for stable if it hasn't actually been tested.
There is no exposure; as you point out, the put_user() will fail if the
get_user() is failing.

Send me a version without stable and I'll Ack it.
