The original copy_mc_fragile() implementation had negative performance
implications since it did not use the fast-string instruction sequence
to perform copies. For this reason copy_mc_to_kernel() fell back to
plain memcpy() to preserve performance on platform that did not indicate
the capability to recover from machine check exceptions. However, that
capability detection was not architectural and now that some platforms
can recover from fast-string consumption of memory errors the memcpy()
fallback now causes these more capable platforms to fail.
Introduce copy_mc_generic() as the fast default implementation of
copy_mc_to_kernel() and finalize the transition of copy_mc_fragile() to
be a platform quirk to indicate 'fragility'. With this in place
copy_mc_to_kernel() is fast and recovery-ready by default regardless of
hardware capability.
Thanks to Vivek for identifying that copy_user_generic() is not suitable
as the copy_mc_to_user() backend since the #MC handler explicitly checks
ex_has_fault_handler().
