x86, pmem: fix broken __copy_user_nocache cache-bypass assumptions
commit 11e63f6d920d6f2dfd3cd421e939a4aec9a58dcd upstream.
Before we rework the "pmem api" to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache()
for memcpy_to_pmem() we need to fix cases where we may strand dirty data
in the cpu cache. The problem occurs when copy_from_iter_pmem() is used
for arbitrary data transfers from userspace. There is no guarantee that
these transfers, performed by dax_iomap_actor(), will have aligned
destinations or aligned transfer lengths. Backstop the usage
__copy_user_nocache() with explicit cache management in these unaligned
cases.
Yes, copy_from_iter_pmem() is now too big for an inline, but addressing
that is saved for a later patch that moves the entirety of the "pmem
api" into the pmem driver directly.
Fixes: 5de490d ("pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem()")
