Commit cf62a8b813 ("MIPS: lib: memcpy: Use macro to build the
copy_user code") switched to a macro in order to build the memcpy
symbols in preparation for the EVA support. However, this commit
also removed the NOP instruction after the 'jr ra' when returning
back to the caller. This had no visible side-effects since the next
instruction was a load to the t0 register which was already in the
clobbered list, but it may have undesired effects in the future
if some other code is introduced in between the .Ldone and
the .Ll_exc_copy labels.

We were returning maxlen like the userland strnlen if no '\0' character
was encountered while the kernel version is expected to return a value
larger than maxlen. Fixed to return maxlen + 1.

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

The warnings are benign and good code is produced regardless because no
macros that'd use the assembler's temporary register are involved, however
the `.set noat' directives removed by the commit referred are crucial to
guarantee this is still going to be the case after any changes in the
future. Therefore they need to be brought back to place which this
change does.

With CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS enabled __delay assembles with a macro in a
branch delay slot:

and broken code results:

Consequently the function loops indefinitely, showing up prominently as a
hang in the delay loop calibration at bootstrap.
This change corrects the problem by forcing the immediate 1 into a
register while keeping code produced identical where CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS
is disabled.

In preparation for EVA support, we use a macro to build the
__csum_partial_copy_user main code so it can be shared across
multiple implementations. EVA uses the same code but it replaces
the load/store/prefetch instructions with the EVA specific ones
therefore using a macro avoids unnecessary code duplications.

Each load/store macro always adds an entry to the __ex_table
using the EXC macro. There are cases where a load instruction may
never fail such as when we are sure the load happens in the kernel
address space. Therefore, we merge these the EXC and LOADX/STOREX
macros into a single one. We also expand the argument list in the EXC
macro to make the macro more flexible. The extra 'type' argument is not
used by this commit, but it will be used when EVA support is added to
memcpy.

The 'copy_user' symbol can be used to copy from or to
userland so we will use two different symbols for these
operations. This makes no difference in the existing code,
but when the core is operating in EVA mode, different instructions
need to be used to read and write to userland address space.
The old function has also been renamed to 'copy_kernel' to denote
that it is suitable for copy data to and from kernel space.

Build the __bzero function using the EVA load/store instructions
when operating in the EVA mode. This function is only used when
accessing user code so there is no need to build two distinct symbols
for user and kernel operations respectively.

Build the __bzero symbol using a macor. In EVA mode we will
need to use similar code to do the userspace load operations so
it is better if we use a macro to avoid code duplications.

Add copy_{to,from,in}_user when the CPU operates in EVA mode.
This is necessary so the EVA specific instructions can be used
to perform the virtual to physical translation for user space
addresses. We will use the non-EVA functions to read from kernel
if needed.
