x86/uaccess: Tell the compiler that uaccess is unlikely to fault
GCC doesn't realize that get_user(), put_user(), and their __ variants are unlikely to fail. Tell it. I noticed this while playing with the C entry code. Before: text data bss dec filename 21828763 5194760 1277952 28301475 vmlinux.baseline After: text data bss dec filename 21828379 5194760 1277952 28301091 vmlinux.new The generated code shrunk by 384 bytes.
