ShirkNeko dd1eb98963 kernel: sucompat: increase reliability, commonize and micro-optimize tiann #2656
On plain ARMv8.0 devices (A53,A57,A73), strncpy_from_user_nofault() sometimes
fails to copy `filename_user` string correctly. This breaks su ofc, breaking
some apps like Termux (Play Store ver), ZArchiver and Root Explorer.

Apply the susfs patch

This does NOT seem to affect newer ARMv8.2+ CPUs (A75/A76 and newer)

My speculation? ARMv8.0 has weak speculation :)

here we replace `ksu_strncpy_from_user_nofault` with ksu_strncpy_from_user_retry:
- ksu_strncpy_from_user_nofault as fast-path copy
- fallback to access_ok to validate the pointer + strncpy_from_user
- manual null-termination just in case, as strncpy_from_user_nofault also does it
- remove that memset, seems useless as it is an strncpy, not strncat

basically, we retry on pagefualt

for usercopies, its not like were doing
    memset(dest, 0, sizeof(dest));
    strncat(dest, var, bytes);

that memset seems unneeded. instead we use strncpy itself to do proper
error and oob check and null term it after.

as for optimizations
- just return early if unauthorized
- commonized logic
- reduced duplication

Tested on:
- ARMv8.0 A73.a53, A57.a53, A53.a53
- ARMv8.2 A76.a55
