These functions are almost identical to the ones in
lib/usercopy.c for !defined(INLINE_COPY_TO_USER).

That version has an extra memset() after a partial
copy_from_user(), and you probably want to have the
same thing here for consistency.

I think ideally we should only have one out-of-line copy
of these two functions and have that one shared between
rust and architectures that want the C version out of line
as well.
