s390/uaccess: fix possible register corruption in strnlen_user_srst()
The whole point of the out-of-line strnlen_user_srst() function was to avoid corruption of register 0 due to register asm assignment. However 'somebody' :) forgot to remove the update_primary_asce() function call, which may clobber register 0 contents. So let's remove that call and also move the size check to the calling function.
