Now that we can deal with nested NMI due to IRET re-enabling NMIs and can deal with faults from NMI by making sure we preserve CR2 over NMIs we can in fact simply access user-space memory from NMI context. So rewrite copy_from_user_nmi() to use __copy_from_user_inatomic() and rework the fault path to do the minimal required work before taking the in_atomic() fault handler. In particular avoid perf_sw_event() which would make perf recurse on itself (it should be harmless as our recursion protections should be able to deal with this -- but why tempt fate). Also rename notify_page_fault() to kprobes_fault() as that is a much better name; there is no notifier in it and its specific to kprobes. Don measured that his worst case NMI path shrunk from ~300K cycles to ~150K cycles.
