Peter Zijlstra e00b12e64b perf/x86: Further optimize copy_from_user_nmi()
Now that we can deal with nested NMI due to IRET re-enabling NMIs and
can deal with faults from NMI by making sure we preserve CR2 over NMIs
we can in fact simply access user-space memory from NMI context.

So rewrite copy_from_user_nmi() to use __copy_from_user_inatomic() and
rework the fault path to do the minimal required work before taking
the in_atomic() fault handler.

In particular avoid perf_sw_event() which would make perf recurse on
itself (it should be harmless as our recursion protections should be
able to deal with this -- but why tempt fate).

Also rename notify_page_fault() to kprobes_fault() as that is a much
better name; there is no notifier in it and its specific to kprobes.

Don measured that his worst case NMI path shrunk from ~300K cycles to
~150K cycles.
