4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
commit 5820f140edef111a9ea2ef414ab2428b8cb805b1 upstream.
The old code would hold the userns_state_mutex indefinitely if memdup_user_nul stalled due to e.g. a userfault region. Prevent that by moving the memdup_user_nul in front of the mutex_lock().
Note: This changes the error precedence of invalid buf/count/*ppos vs map already written / capabilities missing.
