At the moment, it appears that it's available on the few architectures
that don't #define INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER: alpha, csky, powerpc,
riscv and x86. On the other architectures it is always an inline
function.

I don't think we can have a perfect abstraction here, but rather
than putting knowledge of INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER into the rust
wrapper, I would suggest putting a bit of information about
rust into lib/usercopy.c.

I've tried to come up with an idea below, see if that works
for you.
