cp_abort is only required for user windows, because kernel context
must not be preempted between a copy/paste pair.
Without this patch, the init task gets used_vas set when it runs the
nx842_powernv_init initcall, which opens windows for kernel usage.
used_vas is then never cleared anywhere, so it gets propagated into
all other tasks. It's a property of the address space, so it should
really be cleared when a new mm is created (or in dup_mmap if the
mmaps are marked as VM_DONTCOPY). For now we seem to have no such
driver, so leave that for another patch.
