Refactor user_mem_abort() to improve code clarity and simplify
assumptions within the function.
Key changes include:
* Immediately set force_pte to true at the beginning of the function if
logging_active is true. This simplifies the flow and makes the
condition for forcing a PTE more explicit.
* Remove the misleading comment stating that logging_active is
guaranteed to never be true for VM_PFNMAP memslots, as this assertion
is not entirely correct.
* Extract reusable code blocks into new helper functions:
* prepare_mmu_memcache(): Encapsulates the logic for preparing and
topping up the MMU page cache.
* adjust_nested_fault_perms(): Isolates the adjustments to shadow S2
permissions and the encoding of nested translation levels.
* Update min(a, (long)b) to min_t(long, a, b) for better type safety and
consistency.
* Perform other minor tidying up of the code.
These changes primarily aim to simplify user_mem_abort() and make its
logic easier to understand and maintain, setting the stage for future
modifications.

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 reStructuredText 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.
