x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Add write-protection-fault handling
In preparation for using memcpy_mcsafe() to handle user copies it needs
to be to handle write-protection faults while writing user pages. Add
MMU-fault handlers alongside the machine-check exception handlers.
Note that the machine check fault exception handling makes assumptions
about source buffer alignment and poison alignment. In the write fault
case, given the destination buffer is arbitrarily aligned, it needs a
separate / additional fault handling approach. The mcsafe_handle_tail()
helper is reused. The @limit argument is set to @len since there is no
safety concern about retriggering an MMU fault, and this simplifies the
assembly.
