Currently copy_string_kernel is just a wrapper around copy_strings that
simplifies the calling conventions and uses set_fs to allow passing a
kernel pointer.  But due to the fact the we only need to handle a single
kernel argument pointer, the logic can be sigificantly simplified while
getting rid of the set_fs.

Instead of duplicating almost identical code, can you write a function 
that takes whether the source is from user or from kernel, then you just 
do things like:

	if (from_user)
		len = strnlen_user(str, MAX_ARG_STRLEN);
	else
		len = strnlen(str, MAX_ARG_STRLEN);


	if (from_user)
		copy_from_user(kaddr+offset, str, bytes_to_copy);
	else
		memcpy(kaddr+offset, str, bytes_to_copy);

We'll need two different str variables then with and without __user
annotations to keep type safety.  And introduce a branch-y and unreadable
mess in the exec fast path instead of adding a simple and well understood
function for the kernel case that just deals with the much simpler case
of just copying a single arg vector from a kernel address.

About the branch, I was expecting GCC to inline and eliminate the unused 
branch.
