I think you're looking at the wrong code.  It has user_access_begin/end
around it:

		if (!user_access_begin(user_exec_list, count * sizeof(*user_exec_list)))
			goto end;

		for (i = 0; i < args->buffer_count; i++) {
			if (!(exec2_list[i].offset & UPDATE))
				continue;

			exec2_list[i].offset =
				gen8_canonical_addr(exec2_list[i].offset & PIN_OFFSET_MASK);
			unsafe_put_user(exec2_list[i].offset,
					&user_exec_list[i].offset,
					end_user);
		}
end_user:
		user_access_end();
