[patch V5 04/12] powerpc/uaccess: Use unsafe wrappers for ASM GOTO

ASM GOTO is miscompiled by GCC when it is used inside a auto cleanup scope:

bool foo(u32 __user *p, u32 val)
{
	scoped_guard(pagefault)
		unsafe_put_user(val, p, efault);
	return true;
efault:
	return false;
}

It ends up leaking the pagefault disable counter in the fault path. clang
at least fails the build.

Rename unsafe_*_user() to arch_unsafe_*_user() which makes the generic
uaccess header wrap it with a local label that makes both compilers emit
correct code. Same for the kernel_nofault() variants.
