Now, it turns out that the shared key handling does effectively do the equivalent checks inside get_user_pages_fast() (it doesn't actually check the address range on x86, but does check the page protections for being a user page). So it wasn't actually a bug, but the fact that we treat the address differently for private and shared futexes threw me for a loop. Just move the check up, so that it gets done for both cases. Also, use the 'rw' parameter for the type, even if it doesn't actually matter any more (it's a historical artifact of the old racy i386 "page faults from kernel space don't check write protections").
