[PATCH v2 07/22] x86/uaccess: Remove ELF function annotation from copy_user_handle_tail()

From: Josh Poimboeuf

After an objtool improvement, it's complaining about the CLAC in
copy_user_handle_tail():

arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x12: redundant UACCESS disable
arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.o: warning: objtool: copy_user_handle_tail()+0x6: (alt)
arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.o: warning: objtool: copy_user_handle_tail()+0x2: (alt)
arch/x86/lib/copy_user_64.o: warning: objtool: copy_user_handle_tail()+0x0: <=== (func)

copy_user_handle_tail() is incorrectly marked as a callable function, so
objtool is rightfully concerned about the CLAC with no corresponding
STAC.

Remove the ELF function annotation. The copy_user_handle_tail() code
path is already verified by objtool because it's jumped to by other
callable asm code (which does the corresponding STAC).
