powerpc/uaccess: Call might_fault() inconditionaly
Commit 6bfd93c3 ("powerpc: Fix incorrect might_sleep in __get_user/__put_user on kernel addresses") added a check to not call might_sleep() on kernel addresses. This was to enable the use of __get_user() in the alignment exception handler for any address. Then commit 95156f00 ("lockdep, mm: fix might_fault() annotation") added a check of the address space in might_fault(), based on set_fs() logic. But this didn't solve the powerpc alignment exception case as it didn't call set_fs(KERNEL_DS). Nowadays, set_fs() is gone, previous patch fixed the alignment exception handler and __get_user/__put_user are not supposed to be used anymore to read kernel memory. Therefore the is_kernel_addr() check has become useless and can be removed.
