While this patch was a stable fix which introduced duplicate code for
perf and oprofile I suggest merging the code, see the patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Make copy_from_user_nmi() a library function
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.
