Peter Zijlstra 0a196848ca perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user default
The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other
argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied.

Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.

Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied
while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.
