Yes, that solution is better than mine. However, you missed the case where
__copy_{to,from}_user_inatomic calls __{get,put}_user_size, which in turn
does might_sleep(). I now changed the {get,put}_user path accordingly.

I have checked that this version boots and does not warn about futex.

This implements the __copy_{to,from}_user_inatomic() functions on ppc64.
The only difference between the inatomic and regular version is that
inatomic does not call might_sleep() to detect possible faults while
holding locks/elevated preempt counts.
