Subject: Fix misannotated out-of-line _copy_to_user()

From: Christophe Leroy <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit a0e94598e6b6c0d1df6a5fa14eb7c767ca817a20 ]

Destination is a kernel pointer and source - a userland one in _copy_from_user(); _copy_to_user() is the other way round.

Fixes d597580d37377 ("generic ...copy_..._user primitives")
