copy_from_user_nmi() is used in oprofile and perf. Moving it to other
library functions like copy_from_user(). As this is x86 code for 32
and 64 bits, create a new file usercopy.c for unified code.

Rather than having two functionally identical implementations
for 32- and 64-bit configurations, use the previously extended
assembly abstractions to fold the rwsem two implementations into
a shared one.

The PEBS+LBR decoding magic needs the insn_get_length() infrastructure
to be able to decode x86 instruction length.

So split it out of KPROBES dependency and make it enabled when either
KPROBES or PERF_EVENTS is enabled.
