In NMI context, we might be in the middle of context switching or in
the middle of switch_mm_irqs_off(). In either case, CR3 might not
match current->mm, which could cause copy_from_user_nmi() and
friends to read the wrong memory.
Fix it by adding a new nmi_uaccess_okay() helper and checking it in
copy_from_user_nmi() and in __copy_from_user_nmi()'s callers.

Nadav, this is intended for your series. Want to add it right
before the use_temporary_mm() stuff?
Changes from v1:
- Improved comments
- Add debugging
- Fix bugs
