Subject: [RFC PATCH -next V3 1/6] x86: fix function define in copy_mc_to_user

X86 has it's implementation of copy_mc_to_user but not use #define to
declare.

This may cause problems, for example, if other architectures open
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC, but want to use copy_mc_to_user() outside the
architecture, the code add to include/linux/uaddess.h is as follows:

    #ifndef copy_mc_to_user
    static inline unsigned long __must_check
    copy_mc_to_user(void *dst, const void *src, size_t cnt)
    {
	    ...
    }
    #endif

Then this definition will conflict with the implementation of X86 and cause
compilation errors.

Fixes: ec6347bb4339 ("x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()")
