x86: remove more uaccess_32.h complexity
I'm looking at trying to possibly merge the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the x86 uaccess.h implementation, but first this needs to be cleaned up. For example, the 32-bit version of "__copy_from_user_inatomic()" is mostly the special cases for the constant size, and it's actually almost never relevant. Most users aren't actually using a constant size anyway, and the few cases that do small constant copies are better off just using __get_user() instead. So get rid of the unnecessary complexity.
