All architectures except x86 use __copy_from_user_inatomic to provide
arch_perf_out_copy_user; like the other copy_from routines, it returns
the number of bytes not copied.  perf was expecting the number of bytes
that had been copied.  This change corrects that, and thereby allows
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER to be enabled on non-x86 architectures.

x86 uses copy_from_user_nmi, which deviates from the other copy_from
routines by returning the number of bytes copied.  (This cancels out
the effect of perf being backwards; apparently this code has only ever
been tested on x86.)  This change therefore adds a second wrapper to
re-reverse it for perf; the next patch in this series will clean it up.
