Subject: [PATCH] uaccess: fix parameters inversion for __copy_from_user_inatomic()

The following patch changes to use __copy_from_user_inatomic(),
but the passing parameters incorrect:

    x86: some lock annotations for user copy paths, v3

This fixes the netfilter crash reported by Steven Noonan.
