Subject: [PATCH 1/3] powerpc/uaccess: Switch __put_user_size_allowed() to
__put_user_asm_goto()
__put_user_asm_goto() provides more flexibility to GCC and avoids using
a local variable to tell if the write succeeded or not.
GCC can then avoid implementing a cmp in the fast path.
See the difference for a small function like the PPC64 version of
save_general_regs() in arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c:
Before the patch (unreachable nop removed):
