    iov_iter, x86: Be consistent about the __user tag on copy_mc_to_user()
    
    [ Upstream commit 066baf92bed934c9fb4bcee97a193f47aa63431c ]
    
    copy_mc_to_user() has the destination marked __user on powerpc, but not on
    x86; the latter results in a sparse warning in lib/iov_iter.c.
    
    Fix this by applying the tag on x86 too.
