Here are some of the more common spelling mistakes and typos that I've
found while fixing up spelling mistakes in the kernel over the past few
months. Developers keep on coming up with more inventive ways to spell
words.

Misspelling 'prohibited' is quite common in the real world, although
surprisingly not so much in the Linux Kernel. In addition to fixing the
typo we may as well add it to the spelling checker.
Also adding the present participle (prohibiting).

The RISC-V architecture has a register named the "Supervisor Exception
Program Counter", or "sepc". This abbreviation triggers checkpatch.pl's
misspelling detector, resulting in noise in the checkpatch output. The
risk that this noise could cause more useful warnings to be missed seems
to outweigh the harm of an occasional misspelling of "spec". Thus drop
the "sepc" entry from the misspelling list.

I did not touch the "N_BYTE_ALIGMENT" macro in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/wifi.h to avoid unpredictable
impact.
I fixed "_aligment_handler" in arch/openrisc/kernel/entry.S because
it is surrounded by #if 0 ... #endif. It is surely safe and I
confirmed "_alignment_handler" is correct.
I also fixed the "controler" I found in the same hunk in
arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S.

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

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.
