Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] uaccess: clarify that uaccess may only sleep if pagefaults are not disabled
In general, non-atomic variants of user access functions may not sleep if
pagefaults are disabled.
Let's update all relevant comments in uaccess code. This also refelects the
might_sleep() checks in might_fault().
