Add a comment explaining how the user addresses provided to read(2) and write(2) are validated in the DAX I/O path. We call dax_copy_from_iter() or copy_to_iter() on these without calling access_ok() first in the DAX code, and there was a concern that the user might be able to read/write to arbitrary kernel addresses with this path.
