Thank you for addressing this. Should I add this patch to my series
ahead of "mips: use simpler access_ok()"? That way I can keep it all
in my asm-generic tree as a series for 5.18.

It might be clearer to use TASK_SIZE_MAX here instead of XKSSEG,
to match the check in access_ok(). If you like, I can change that while
applying.
