x86: Add 1/2/4/8 byte optimization to 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic
commit ff47ab4f upstream. The 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic always called copy_from_user_generic, but skipped the special optimizations for 1/2/4/8 byte accesses. This especially hurts the futex call, which accesses the 4 byte futex user value with a complicated fast string operation in a function call, instead of a single movl. Use __copy_{from,to}_user for _inatomic instead to get the same optimizations. The only problem was the might_fault() in those functions. So move that to new wrapper and call __copy_{f,t}_user_nocheck() from *_inatomic directly. 32bit already did this correctly by duplicating the code.
