mm: Fix copy_from_user_nofault().
There are several issues with copy_from_user_nofault(): - access_ok() is designed for user context only and for that reason it has WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() which triggers when bpf, kprobe, eprobe and perf on ppc are calling it from irq. - it's missing nmi_uaccess_okay() which is a nop on all architectures except x86 where it's required. The comment in arch/x86/mm/tlb.c explains the details why it's necessary. Calling copy_from_user_nofault() from bpf, [ke]probe without this check is not safe. - __copy_from_user_inatomic() under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is calling check_object_size()->__check_object_size()->check_heap_object()->find_vmap_area()->spin_lock() which is not safe to do from bpf, [ke]probe and perf due to potential deadlock. Fix all three issues. At the end the copy_from_user_nofault() becomes equivalent to copy_from_user_nmi() from safety point of view with a difference in the return value.
