x86: rename and clean up __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache()
commit 5de7bcaadf160c1716b20a263cf8f5b06f658959 upstream. Similarly to the previous commit, this renames the somewhat confusingly named function. But in this case, it was at least less confusing: the __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache is indeed copying from user memory, and it is indeed ok to be used in an atomic context, so it will not warn about it. But the previous commit also removed the NTB mis-use of the __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache() function, and as a result every call-site is now _actually_ doing a real user copy. That means that we can now do the proper user pointer verification too. End result: add proper address checking, remove the double underscores, and change the "nocache" to "nontemporal" to more accurately describe what this x86-only function actually does. It might be worth noting that only the target is non-temporal: the actual user accesses are normal memory accesses. Also worth noting is that non-x86 targets (and on older 32-bit x86 CPU's before XMM2 in the Pentium III) we end up just falling back on a regular user copy, so nothing can actually depend on the non-temporal semantics, but that has always been true.
