[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/copy_safe: Introduce copy_safe_fast()

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

The existing copy_safe() implementation satisfies two primary concerns.
It provides a copy routine that avoids known unrecoverable scenarios
(poison consumption via fast-string instructions / accesses across
cacheline boundaries), and it provides a fallback to fast plain memcpy
if the platform does not indicate recovery capability. The fallback is
broken for two reasons. It fails the expected copy_safe() semantics that
allow it to be used in scenarios where reads / writes trigger memory
protection faults and it fails to enable machine check recovery on
systems that do not need the careful semantics of copy_safe_slow().

With copy_safe_fast() in place copy_safe() never falls back to plain
memcpy(), and it is fast regardless in every other scenario outside of
the copy_safe_slow() blacklist scenario.
