Subject: [PATCH v7 02/12] iov_iter, x86: Be consistent about the __user tag on copy_mc_to_user()

copy_mc_to_user() has the destination marked __user on powerpc, but not on
x86; the latter results in a sparse warning in lib/iov_iter.c.

Fix this by applying the tag on x86 too.

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