This word salad does not qualify as a change log. Please read

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-tip.html#changelog

including the documentation it links to.

The reason why common.h exists is that syscall_user_dispatch() is a
internal function, which is on purpose not exposed globally. There is no
reason to expose it globally, so it stays where it is.
