The watchpoint encoding masks for size and address were off-by-one bit
each, with the size mask using 1 unnecessary bit and the address mask
missing 1 bit. However, due to the way the size is shifted into the
encoded watchpoint, we were effectively wasting and never using the
extra bit.
For example, on x86 with PAGE_SIZE==4K, we have 1 bit for the is-write
bit, 14 bits for the size bits, and then 49 bits left for the address.
Prior to this fix we would end up with this usage:
[ write<1> | size<14> | wasted<1> | address<48> ]
Fix it by subtracting 1 bit from the GENMASK() end and start ranges of
size and address respectively. The added static_assert()s verify that
the masks are as expected. With the fixed version, we get the expected
usage:
[ write<1> | size<14> | address<49> ]
Functionally no change is expected, since that extra address bit is
insignificant for enabled architectures.

Avoid setting up watchpoints on NULL pointers, as otherwise we would
crash inside the KCSAN runtime (when checking for value changes) instead
of the instrumented code.
Because that may be confusing, skip any address less than PAGE_SIZE.

Fix multiple occurrences of duplicated words in kernel/.
Fix one typo/spello on the same line as a duplicate word. Change one
instance of "the the" to "that the". Otherwise just drop one of the
repeated words.

Prefer __always_inline for fast-path functions that are called outside
of user_access_save, to avoid generating UACCESS warnings when
optimizing for size (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE). It will also avoid future
surprises with compiler versions that change the inlining heuristic even
when optimizing for performance.

Tidy up a few bits:
- Fix typos and grammar, improve wording.
- Remove spurious newlines that are col80 warning artifacts where the
resulting line-break is worse than the disease it's curing.
- Use core kernel coding style to improve readability and reduce
spurious code pattern variations.
- Use better vertical alignment for structure definitions and initialization
sequences.
- Misc other small details.
No change in functionality intended.

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector.
See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details.
This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for
any architecture.
