The quilt patch titled
     Subject: uaccess: gate _copy_[to|from]_user on !INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     uaccess-gate-_copy__user-on-inline_copy_from_user.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

These methods only exist when INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER is disabled, so update
the header file to reflect that.

This fixes the following error on builds that enable both RUST and
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER.

ERROR: modpost: "_copy_from_user" [samples/rust/rust_misc_device.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "_copy_to_user" [samples/rust/rust_misc_device.ko] undefined!

This error is triggered because when a method is available both as a
rust_helper_* and normal method, Rust will call the normal method.
