ARM: 8812/1: Optimise copy_{from/to}_user for !CPU_USE_DOMAINS 

ARMv6+ processors do not use CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS and use privileged
ldr/str instructions in copy_{from/to}_user.  They are currently
unnecessarily using single ldr/str instructions and can use ldm/stm
instructions instead like memcpy does (but with appropriate fixup
tables).

This speeds up a "dd if=foo of=bar bs=32k" on a tmpfs filesystem by
about 4% on my Cortex-A9.
