powerpc: Update 64bit __copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD
In exactly the same way that we updated memcpy() with new feature
sections in commit 25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556 ("powerpc:
Update 64bit memcpy() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"), we do the same
thing here for __copy_tofrom_user(). Once again this is purely a
performance tweak for Cell and Power6 - this has no effect on all the
other 64bit powerpc chips.
We can make these same changes to __copy_tofrom_user() because the
basic copy algorithm is the same as in memcpy() - this version just
has all the exception handling logic needed when copying to or from
userspace as well as a special case for copying whole 4K pages that
are page aligned.
CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU was added in commit
4ec577a28980a0790df3c3dfe9c81f6e2222acfb ("powerpc: Add new CPU
feature: CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").
We also make the same simple one line change from cmpldi r1,... to
cmpldi cr1,... for consistency.
