x86/powerpc has it's implementation of copy_mc_to_user but not use #define
to declare.

This may cause problems, for example, if other architectures open
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC, but want to use copy_mc_to_user() outside the
architecture, the code add to include/linux/uaddess.h is as follows:

      #ifndef copy_mc_to_user
      static inline unsigned long __must_check
      copy_mc_to_user(void *dst, const void *src, size_t cnt)
      {
	    ...
      }
      #endif

Then this definition will conflict with the implementation of x86/powerpc
and cause compilation errors as follow:

Fixes: ec6347bb4339 ("x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()")

I don't understand, what does it fix really ? What was the
(existing/real) bug introduced by that patch and that your are fixing ?

If those defined had been expected and missing, we would have had a
build failure. If you have one, can you describe it ?

There will be build failure after patch 3 is added, there is a little
confusing for a reader of this commit in isolation.
In the next version, I will put this patch after patch 3.

Thanks,
Tong.
