Takuya Yoshikawa 12cb814f3b KVM: MMU: Clean up gpte reading with copy_from_user()
When we optimized walk_addr_generic() by not using the generic guest
memory reader, we replaced copy_from_user() with get_user():

  KVM: MMU: Fix 64-bit paging breakage on x86_32

But as Andi pointed out later, copy_from_user() does the same as
get_user() as long as we give a constant size to it.

So we use copy_from_user() to clean up the code.

The only, noticeable, regression introduced by this is 64-bit gpte
reading on x86_32 hosts needed for PAE guests.

But this can be mitigated by implementing 8-byte get_user() for x86_32,
if needed.
