powerpc32: rewrite csum_partial_copy_generic() based on copy_tofrom_user()
csum_partial_copy_generic() does the same as copy_tofrom_user and also calculates the checksum during the copy. Unlike copy_tofrom_user(), the existing version of csum_partial_copy_generic() doesn't take benefit of the cache. This patch is a rewrite of csum_partial_copy_generic() based on copy_tofrom_user(). The previous version of csum_partial_copy_generic() was handling errors. Now we have the checksum wrapper functions to handle the error case like in powerpc64 so we can make the error case simple: just return -EFAULT. copy_tofrom_user() only has r12 available => we use it for the checksum r7 and r8 which contains pointers to error feedback are used, so we stack them. On a TCP benchmark using socklib on the loopback interface on which checksum offload and scatter/gather have been deactivated, we get about 20% performance increase.
