mm: Fix copy_from_user_nofault().
commit d319f344561de23e810515d109c7278919bff7b0 upstream.

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.
