I had run into some regressions for the previous version of this
series, the new version is based on v5.14-rc2 instead.

These two functions appear to be unnecessarily different between
architectures, and the asm-generic version is a bit questionable,
even for NOMMU architectures.

Clean this up to just use the generic library version for anything
that uses the generic version today. I've expanded on the patch
descriptions a little, as suggested by Christoph Hellwig, but I
suspect a more detailed review would uncover additional problems
with the custom versions that are getting removed.

I ended up adding patches for csky and microblaze as they had the
same implementation that I removed elsewhere, these are now gone
as well.

If I hear no objections from architecture maintainers or new
build regressions, I'll queue these up in the asm-generic tree
for 5.15.
