An optimisation and very likely not noticeable. Given that we'd do a read
following a put_user() or get_user() earlier, the cacheline was
allocated and another load may be nearly as fast as the uaddr increment.

The "don't need to" part. But thinking about this, I'll just drop it as
it's confusing.

Good point. This is fine if we skip the first byte but not otherwise.
