access_ok() always returns 'true' on s390. Therefore all calls
are quite pointless and can be removed.

This is the s390 port of 70627654 "x86, extable: Switch to relative
exception table entries".
Reduces the size of our exception tables by 50% on 64 bit builds.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions:
- directly setting the four parameters individually
- copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long))
- copying the four parameters using a private structure
In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart
members of struct _lowcore.
Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a
mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest
using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions
in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the
order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore.
In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h
to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all.
string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h.
Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a
misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that
handles the misaligned u64 correctly.

On s390 access_ok is a macro which discards all parameters and always
returns 1. This can result in compile warnings which warn about unused
variables like this:
fs/read_write.c: In function 'rw_copy_check_uvector':
fs/read_write.c:684:16: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable]
Fix this by adding a __range_ok() function which consumes all parameters
but still always returns 1.

This patch introduces the new function memcpy_absolute() that allows to
copy memory using absolute addressing. This means that the prefix swap
does not apply when this function is used.
With this patch also all s390 kernel code that accesses absolute zero
now uses the new memcpy_absolute() function. The old and less generic
copy_to_absolute_zero() function is removed.

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the
do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies
with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This
patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception()
directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to
do_exception() to specify the fault address.
