x86/copy_user_generic: Optimize copy_user_generic with CPU erms feature
According to Intel 64 and IA-32 SDM and Optimization Reference Manual, beginning with Ivybridge, REG string operation using MOVSB and STOSB can provide both flexible and high-performance REG string operations in cases like memory copy. Enhancement availability is indicated by CPUID.7.0.EBX[9] (Enhanced REP MOVSB/ STOSB). If CPU erms feature is detected, patch copy_user_generic with enhanced fast string version of copy_user_generic. A few new macros are defined to reduce duplicate code in ALTERNATIVE and ALTERNATIVE_2.
