arch_check_user_regs() is used at the moment to verify that struct pt_regs contains valid values when entering the kernel from userspace. s390 needs a place in the generic entry code to modify a cpu data structure when switching from userspace to kernel mode. As arch_check_user_regs() is exactly this, rename it to arch_enter_from_user_mode(). When entering the kernel from userspace, arch_check_user_regs() is used to verify that struct pt_regs contains valid values. Note that the NMI codepath doesn't call this function. s390 needs a place in the generic entry code to modify a cpu data structure when switching from userspace to kernel mode.

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.
