vfs/proc/kcore, x86/mm/kcore: Fix SMAP fault when dumping vsyscall user page
Commit: df04abfd181a ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data") ... introduced a bounce buffer to work around CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y. However, accessing the vsyscall user page will cause an SMAP fault. Replace memcpy() with copy_from_user() to fix this bug works, but adding a common way to handle this sort of user page may be useful for future. Currently, only vsyscall page requires KCORE_USER.
