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().
