This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.
This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
present in how we handle the data. For example there are a number of
places that call htonl on the protocol value. This is likely not necessary
and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
converted to a shift by the compiler.

Al Viro pointed out that the x86-64 csum_partial_copy_from_user() is
somewhat confused about what it should do on errors, notably it mostly
clears the uncopied end result buffer, but misses that for the initial
alignment case.
All users should check for errors, so it's dubious whether the clearing
is even necessary, and Al also points out that we should probably clean
up the calling conventions, but regardless of any future changes to this
function, the fact that it is inconsistent is just annoying.
So make the __get_user() failure path use the same error exit as all the
other errors do.

Add SMAP annotations to csum_partial_copy_to/from_user(). These
functions legitimately access user space and thus need to set the AC
flag.
TODO: add explicit checks that the side with the kernel space pointer
really points into kernel space.
