perf: Factor __output_copy to be usable with specific copy function
Adding a generic way to use __output_copy function with specific copy function via DEFINE_PERF_OUTPUT_COPY macro. Using this to add new __output_copy_user function, that provides output copy from user pointers. For x86 the copy_from_user_nmi function is used and __copy_from_user_inatomic for the rest of the architectures. This new function will be used in user stack dump on sample, coming in next patches.
