    This reverts commit 279917e2.
    
    With the CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY option enabled, this patch triggers
    kernel bugs at runtime:
    
      usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to kernel text (offset 2084839, size 6)!
      kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:99!
     Backtrace:
      IAOQ[0]: usercopy_abort+0xc4/0xe8
      [<00000000406ed1c8>] __check_object_size+0x174/0x238
      [<00000000407086d4>] copy_strings.isra.0+0x3e8/0x708

      [<0000000040303eb8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14
    
    The problem is, that we have an init section of at least 2MB size which
    starts at _stext and is freed after bootup.
    
    If then later some kernel data is (temporarily) stored in this free
    memory, check_kernel_text_object() will trigger a bug since the data
    appears to be inside the kernel text (>=_stext) area:
            if (overlaps(ptr, len, _stext, _etext))
                    usercopy_abort("kernel text");
