Use one generic vhost_copy_to_user() instead of two dedicated
accessor. This will simplify the conversion to fine grain accessors.

Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
The reason we did it like this is because it was faster.
Want to try benchmarking before we change it?

Faster is a good side effect of such conversion. Otherwise we need two 
new fine grain memory accessor.

But, anyway, I can test its impact.

Thanks
