This is the successor of
    "[PATCH v1 0/4] s390x/tcg: MOVE (MVC): Fault-safe handling"

----

This series fixes a bunch of issues related to some mem helpers and makes
sure that they are fault-safe, meaning no system state is modified in case
a fault is triggered.

I can spot tons of other issues with other mem helpers that will have
to be fixed later. Also, fault-safe handling for some instructions
(especially TR) might be harder to implement (you don't know what will
actually be accessed upfront - we might need a buffer and go over
inputs twice). Focusing on the MOVE instructions for now.

----

Newer versions of glibc use memcpy() in memmove() for forward moves. The
implementation makese use of MVC. The TCG implementation of MVC is
currently not able to handle faults reliably when crossing pages. MVC
can cross with 256 bytes at most two pages.

In case we get a fault on the second page, we already moved data. When
continuing after the fault we might try to move already overwritten data,
which is very bad in case we have overlapping data on a forward move.

Triggered for now only by rpmbuild (crashes when checking the spec file)
and rpm (database corruptions). This fixes installing Fedora rawhide (31)
under TCG.

This was horrible to debug as it barely triggers and we fail at completely
different places.
