Machine check safe memory copies are currently deployed in the pmem driver whenever reading from persistent memory media, so that -EIO is returned rather than triggering a kernel panic. While this protects most pmem accesses, it is not complete in the filesystem-dax case. When filesystem-dax is enabled reads may bypass the block layer and the driver via dax_iomap_actor() and its usage of copy_to_iter(). In preparation for creating a copy_to_iter() variant that can handle machine checks, teach memcpy_mcsafe() to return the number of bytes remaining rather than -EFAULT when an exception occurs.
