x86/uaccess: Avoid check_object_size() in copy_from_user_nmi()

The check_object_size() helper under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
designed to skip any checks where the length is known at compile time as
a reasonable heuristic to avoid "likely known-good" cases. However, it can
only do this when the copy_*_user() helpers are, themselves, inline too.

Using find_vmap_area() requires taking a spinlock. The check_object_size()
helper can call find_vmap_area() when the destination is in vmap memory.
If show_regs() is called in interrupt context, it will attempt a call to
copy_from_user_nmi(), which may call check_object_size() and then
find_vmap_area(). If something in normal context happens to be in the
middle of calling find_vmap_area() (with the spinlock held), the interrupt
handler will hang forever.

The copy_from_user_nmi() call is actually being called with a fixed-size
length, so check_object_size() should never have been called in
the first place. Given the narrow constraints, just replace the
__copy_from_user_inatomic() call with an open-coded version that calls
only into the sanitizers and not check_object_size(), followed by a call
to raw_copy_from_user().
