When probe_kernel_read_inst() was created, there was no good place to
put it, so a file called lib/inst.c was dedicated for it.
Since then, probe_kernel_read_inst() has been renamed
copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault(). And mm/maccess.h didn't exist at that
time. Today, mm/maccess.h is related to copy_from_kernel_nofault().
Move copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault() into mm/maccess.c

When probe_kernel_read_inst() was created, it was to mimic
probe_kernel_read() function.
Since then, probe_kernel_read() has been renamed
copy_from_kernel_nofault().
Rename probe_kernel_read_inst() into copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault().

We have two independant versions of probe_kernel_read_inst(), one for
PPC32 and one for PPC64.
The PPC32 is identical to the first part of the PPC64 version.
The remaining part of PPC64 version is not relevant for PPC32, but
not contradictory, so we can easily have a common function with
the PPC64 part opted out via a IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64).
The only need is to add a version of ppc_inst_prefix() for PPC32.

Its name comes from former probe_user_read() function.
That function is now called copy_from_user_nofault().
probe_user_read_inst() uses copy_from_user_nofault() to read only
a few bytes. It is suboptimal.
It does the same as get_user_inst() but in addition disables
page faults.
But on the other hand, it is not used for the time being. So remove it
for now. If one day it is really needed, we can give it a new name
more in line with today's naming, and implement it using get_user_inst()

For powerpc64, redefine the ppc_inst type so both word and prefixed
instructions can be represented. On powerpc32 the type will remain the
same. Update places which had assumed instructions to be 4 bytes long.

[mpe: Rework the get_user_inst() macros to be parameterised, and don't
assign to the dest if an error occurred. Use CONFIG_PPC64 not
__powerpc64__ in a few places. Address other comments from
Christophe. Fix some sparse complaints.]

Introduce a probe_kernel_read_inst() function to use in cases where
probe_kernel_read() is used for getting an instruction. This will be
more useful for prefixed instructions.
