powerpc/net: Inline checksum wrappers and convert to scoped user access

Browse source 
Commit 861574d51b ("powerpc/uaccess: Implement masked user access")
provides optimised user access by avoiding the cost of access_ok().

Convert csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() to
scoped user access to benefit from masked user access.

csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() are only
called respectively by csum_and_copy_to_iter() and
csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() and they are only called twice.

Those functions used to be large but they were first reduced by
commit c693cc4676 ("saner calling conventions for
csum_and_copy_..._user()") then commit 70d65cd555 ("ppc: propagate
the calling conventions change down to csum_partial_copy_generic()").
With the additional size reduction provided by conversion to scoped
user access they are not worth being kept out of line.
