Since it's only the user access functions caring about the abort label
and this label is always the same (11f as I can see), we can ignore it
completely in copy_template.S. Just use a large label above, something
like:
.macro ldp1 ptr, regB, regC, val
USER(9998f, ldp \ptr, \regB, [\regC], \val)
.endm
.macro stp1 ptr, regB, regC, val
stp \ptr, \regB, [\regC], \val
.endm

Here you would have the 9998: label

and 9999 here.
BTW, you should use tmp1 instead of x4 to avoid clashes in case we
rename the register aliases. And you can probably write this with some
fewer instructions:
9998:
sub x0, tmp3, dst
9999:
strb wzr, [dst], #1 // zero remaining buffer space
cmp dst, tmp3
b.lo 9999b

Why not "sub x0, tmp3, dst" directly?

You could keep this in in the copy_from_user.S etc. files to avoid
another addition for memcpy where it's not needed. And you could keep
the .req in there as well (together with the "end" alias):
end .req x5 // same as tmp3
ENTRY(__copy_from_user)
...
add end, x0, x2
#include "copy_template.S"
...

Same here, "sub x0, end, dst" directly.
