This code no longer exists in mainline, because it was removed in
commit d2c95f9d68 ("x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for user memory
clearing") upstream.
However, rather than backport the full range of x86 memory clearing and
copying cleanups, fix the exception table annotation placement for the
final 'rep movsb' in clear_user_rep_good(): rather than pointing at the
actual instruction that did the user space access, it pointed to the
register move just before it.
That made sense from a code flow standpoint, but not from an actual
usage standpoint: it means that if user access takes an exception, the
exception handler won't actually find the instruction in the exception
tables.
As a result, rather than fixing it up and returning -EFAULT, it would
then turn it into a kernel oops report instead, something like:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000020081000
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
...

which then looks like a filesystem bug rather than the incorrect
exception annotation that it is.
