maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly

Provide alternative versions of probe_kernel_read, probe_kernel_write
and strncpy_from_kernel_unsafe that don't need set_fs magic, but instead
use arch hooks that are modelled after unsafe_{get,put}_user to access
kernel memory in an exception safe way.
