[PATCH] uaccess: gate _copy_[to|from]_user on !INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER

From: Alice Ryhl

Date: Tue Nov 18 2025 - 12:33:03 EST


These methods only exist when INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER is disabled, so
update the header file to reflect that.

This fixes the following error on builds that enable both RUST and
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER.

ERROR: modpost: "_copy_from_user" [samples/rust/rust_misc_device.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "_copy_to_user" [samples/rust/rust_misc_device.ko] undefined!

This error is triggered because when a method is available both as a
rust_helper_* and normal method, Rust will call the normal method.

Fixes: d99dc586ca7c ("uaccess: decouple INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and CONFIG_RUST")
