The above comments are not clear enough. For example,
'__access_ok() will fail', user will need to
check the source code where __access_ok() is and
this could be hard e.g., for probe_read_user_str().
Another example, 'both vma_lookup() and expand_stack() will fail',
where is vma_lookup()/expand_stack()? User needs to further
check to make sense.

I suggest remove the above comments and add more
detailed explanation in commit messages with callstack
indicating where the fail/error return happens.
