Having a goto after an ele block, an then labels jumping into it is just
weird.

To make this somewhat readable just split it into a helper function:

static inline bool put_func_descr(func_descr_t __user *funct_desc_ptr,
		struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	if (!user_read_access_begin(funct_desc_ptr, sizeof(func_descr_t)))
		goto fault;
	unsafe_get_user(regs->ctr, &funct_desc_ptr->entry, uaccess_end);
	unsafe_get_user(regs->gpr[2], &funct_desc_ptr->toc, uaccess_end);
	user_read_access_end();
	return false;

uaccess_end:
	user_read_access_end();
fault:
	signal_fault(current, regs, __func__, funct_desc_ptr);
	return true;
}
