Commit:

  df04abf ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data")

... introduced a bounce buffer to work around CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y.
However, accessing the vsyscall user page will cause an SMAP fault.

Replace memcpy() with copy_from_user() to fix this bug works, but adding
a common way to handle this sort of user page may be useful for future.

Currently, only vsyscall page requires KCORE_USER.
