When we optimized walk_addr_generic() by not using the generic guest
memory reader, we replaced copy_from_user() with get_user():

KVM: MMU: Fix 64-bit paging breakage on x86_32
But as Andi pointed out later, copy_from_user() does the same as
get_user() as long as we give a constant size to it.
So we use copy_from_user() to clean up the code.
The only, noticeable, regression introduced by this is 64-bit gpte
reading on x86_32 hosts needed for PAE guests.
But this can be mitigated by implementing 8-byte get_user() for x86_32,
if needed.
