Simplify the KPTI G-to-nG asm helper code by: - pulling the 'table bit' test into the get/put macros so we can combine them and incorporate the entire loop; - moving the 'table bit' test after the update of bit #11 so we no longer need separate next_xxx and skip_xxx labels; - redefining the pmd/pud register aliases and the next_pmd/next_pud labels instead of branching to them if the number of configured page table levels is less than 3 or 4, respectively. No functional change intended, except for the fact that we now descend into a next level table after setting bit #11 on its descriptor but this should make no difference in practice. While at it, switch to .L prefixed local labels so they don't clutter up the symbol tables, kallsyms, etc, and clean up the indentation for legibility.

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 Restructured Text 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.
