Now that we're always using STTR variants rather than abstracting two different addressing modes, the user_ldst macro here is frankly more obfuscating than helpful. Rewrite __arch_clear_user() with regular USER() annotations so that it's clearer what's going on, and take the opportunity to minimise the branchiness in the most common paths, while also allowing the exception fixup to return an accurate result. Apparently some folks examine large reads from /dev/zero closely enough to notice the loop being hot, so align it per the other critical loops (presumably around a typical instruction fetch granularity).

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
