x86: Add an inlined __copy_from_user_nmi() variant
Add a inlined __ variant of copy_from_user_nmi. The inlined variant allows
the user to:
- batch the access_ok() check for multiple accesses
- avoid having a pagefault_disable/enable() on every access if the
caller already ensures disabled page faults due to its context.
- get all the optimizations in copy_*_user() for small constant sized
transfers
It is just a define to __copy_from_user_inatomic().
