Pull it up into the header and kill duplicate versions.
Separately, both macros are identical:

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.
This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.

arch/x86/lib/copy_user_nocache_64.S
Remove open-coded exception table entries in arch/x86/lib/copy_user_nocache_64.S,
and replace them with _ASM_EXTABLE() macros; this will allow us to
change the format and type of the exception table entries.

New ALIGN_DESTINATION macro has sad typo: r8d register was used instead
of ecx in fixup section. This can be considered as a regression.
Register ecx was also wrongly loaded with value in r8d in
copy_user_nocache routine.

Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only
really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not),
but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how
many bytes were copied from user space.
And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would
sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had.
Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make
this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string"
instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this
issue.
To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared
about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that
doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write
routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by
avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug.
In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only
triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the
behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm:
fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just
enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple
iovec's.
That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the
stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem.
[ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines
(with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that
was involved in showing this) have the right return values.
We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the
copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it
to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the
limit case gracefully. ]

movnt* instructions are not strongly ordered with respect to other stores,
so if we are to assume stores are strongly ordered in the rest of the 64
bit code, we must fence these off (see similar examples in 32 bit code).
[ The AMD memory ordering document seems to say that nontemporal stores can
also pass earlier regular stores, so maybe we need sfences _before_
movnt* everywhere too? ]
