Santosh Sivaraj 20055a8bfa powerpc/memcpy: Fix stack corruption for smaller sizes
For sizes lesser than 128 bytes, the code branches out early without saving
the stack frame, which when restored later drops frame of the caller.

Balbir Singh 4d4a273854 powerpc/memcpy: Add memcpy_mcsafe for pmem
The pmem infrastructure uses memcpy_mcsafe in the pmem layer so as to
convert machine check exceptions into a return value on failure in case
a machine check exception is encountered during the memcpy. The return
value is the number of bytes remaining to be copied.

This patch largely borrows from the copyuser_power7 logic and does not add
the VMX optimizations, largely to keep the patch simple. If needed those
optimizations can be folded in.
