9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

88baa78d1f selftests: remove duplicated all and clean target
Currently, kselftest use TEST_PROGS, TEST_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_FILES to
indicate the test program, extended test program and test files. It is
easy to understand the purpose of these files. But mix of compiled and
uncompiled files lead to duplicated "all" and "clean" targets.

In order to remove the duplicated targets, introduce TEST_GEN_PROGS,
TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED, TEST_GEN_FILES to indicate the compiled
objects.

Also, the later patch will make use of TEST_GEN_XXX to redirect these
files to output directory indicated by KBUILD_OUTPUT or O.

And add this changes to "Contributing new tests(details)" of
Documentation/kselftest.txt.

3409f9ab71 kselftest: kselftest documentation improvement
Suggested patch solves two issues:

1) Currently documentation is unclear whether `make kselftest` should
be run before or after kernel was installed and booted. `make help`
gives a clear answer on that: "kselftest - Build and run kernel selftest
(run as root). Build, install, and boot kernel before running kselftest
on it."

2) Documentation states that `make kselftest` executes "unit" tests.
Technically it's not a _unit_ test if it requires to install an
application first. It's either integration or system test. To not to
confuse a user I suggest not to use a word "unit".
