[PATCH v1 4/5] uaccess: clearify that uaccess may only sleep if pagefaults are not disabled

[David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

In general, non-atomic variants of user access functions may not sleep if
pagefaults are disabled.

Let's update all relevant comments in uaccess code. This also refelects the
might_sleep() checks in might_fault().
