[PATCH v2 0/3] arm64: fix typos in comments

[Hemanth Selam]

This is v2 of the spelling fixes for this tree.

Changes since v1:
The pauth.c change is corrected: the doubled 'is' is a misspelt 'it is',
so v1 deleted the wrong word.  Spotted by Fuad Tabba.

Only comments change; no code is touched.

[PATCH v2 3/3] arm64: kvm: fix typo in pauth.c comment

[Hemanth Selam]

The comment reads "This code assumes that is is run from EL2".  The first
"is" is not a repetition, it should be "it".

v1 deleted the second "is" instead, which left the sentence without a
subject.  Fuad Tabba pointed out the correct reading.

Only touches a comment, no code changes.
