4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Al Viro viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk
commit f88a333b44318643282b8acc92af90deda441f5e upstream.
kernel_wait4() expects a userland address for status - it's only rusage that goes as a kernel one (and needs a copyout afterwards)
[ Also, fix the prototype of kernel_wait4() to have that __user annotation - Linus ]
