x86/uaccess/64: Handle the caching of 4-byte nocache copies properly in __copy_user_nocache()
Data corruption issues were observed in tests which initiated a system crash/reset while accessing BTT devices. This problem is reproducible. The BTT driver calls pmem_rw_bytes() to update data in pmem devices. This interface calls __copy_user_nocache(), which uses non-temporal stores so that the stores to pmem are persistent. __copy_user_nocache() uses non-temporal stores when a request size is 8 bytes or larger (and is aligned by 8 bytes). The BTT driver updates the BTT map table, which entry size is 4 bytes. Therefore, updates to the map table entries remain cached, and are not written to pmem after a crash. Change __copy_user_nocache() to use non-temporal store when a request size is 4 bytes. The change extends the current byte-copy path for a less-than-8-bytes request, and does not add any overhead to the regular path.
