x86: usercopy: check for total size when deciding non-temporal cutoff
Impact: make more types of copies non-temporal
This change makes the following simple fix:
30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
A bit more sophisticated: we check the 'total' number of bytes
written to decide whether to copy in a cached or a non-temporal
way.
This will for example cause the tail (modulo 4096 bytes) chunk
of a large write() to be non-temporal too - not just the page-sized
chunks.
