Subject: x86/uaccess/64: Make the __copy_user_nocache() assembly code more
readable
commit ee9737c924706aaa72c2ead93e3ad5644681dc1c upstream.
Add comments to __copy_user_nocache() to clarify its procedures
and alignment requirements.
Also change numeric branch target labels to named local labels.
No code changed:
