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.
