In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than
implementing copy_user_generic() as a function consisting of
just a single (possibly patched) branch, instead properly deal
with patching call instructions in the alternative instructions
framework, and move the patching into the callers.
As a follow-on, one could also introduce something like
__EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALT() to avoid patching call sites in modules.
