Almost; you don't need to add EX_TYPE_UACCESS here, as you can use
EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO for that.

We already have:

| #define _ASM_EXTABLE_UACCESS_ERR(insn, fixup, err)		\
|         _ASM_EXTABLE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO(insn, fixup, err, wzr)

... and we can add:

| #define _ASM_EXTABLE_UACCESS(insn, fixup)			\
|         _ASM_EXTABLE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO(insn, fixup, wzr, wzr)


... and maybe we should use 'xzr' rather than 'wzr' for clarity.

That sounds right to me. This will require refactoring __raw_{get,put}_mem()
and __{get,put}_mem_asm().

We use _cond_extable for cache maintenance uaccesses, so those should be moved
over to to EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO. We can rename _cond_extable to
_cond_uaccess_extable for clarity.

That will require restructuring asm-extable.h a bit. If that turns out to be
painful I'm happy to take a look.

Thanks,
Mark.
