[PATCH] fix bug in x86_64 csum_partial_copy_generic()

[Dave Peterson <dsp@llnl.gov>]

I was observing reproducible crashes on the "movw %bx,(%rsi)" instruction
below while a process in a recvfrom() system call was copying packet data
to user space.  The patch below fixes the exception table and causes the
crash to no longer reproduce.  Please apply.

Thanks,
Dave Peterson
