[PATCH 03/13] perf, x86: Add copy_from_user_nmi_nochk for best effort copy

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding copy_from_user_nmi_nochk that provides the best effort
copy regardless the requesting size crossing the task boundary.

This is going to be useful for stack dump we need in post
DWARF CFI based unwind, where we have predefined size of
the user stack to dump, and we need to store the most of
the requested dump size, regardless this size is crossing
the task boundary.
