x86-64: __copy_from_user_inatomic() adjustments

This v2.6.26 commit:

    ad2fc2c: x86: fix copy_user on x86

rendered __copy_from_user_inatomic() identical to
copy_user_generic(), yet didn't make the former just call the
latter from an inline function.

Furthermore, this v2.6.19 commit:

    b885808: [PATCH] Add proper sparse __user casts to __copy_to_user_inatomic

converted the return type of __copy_to_user_inatomic() from
unsigned long to int, but didn't do the same to
__copy_from_user_inatomic().
