cover net: fix typos and repeated words in comments
This corrects 2 misspellings and repeated words in comments. Each is a separate patch so that any one of them can be dropped without touching the rest.
Nothing outside comments changes. Every touched C file was checked by dropping its comments, replacing each string literal with a placeholder and collapsing whitespace; what remained was identical before and after, so the compiled code cannot differ.
The mistakes were found with scripts/checkpatch.pl against the list in scripts/spelling.txt. The scanning, the edits and the changelogs were produced with Cursor running the claude-opus-5 model, from a request to find and fix spelling mistakes across the tree, and every correction was then re-checked by the comparison described above. Words that name an identifier were left alone deliberately, even when they read as typos, because correcting the prose would make the comment disagree with the code it describes.
Tested by building x86_64 defconfig at v7.3-rc1-269-gbc35965f6940, which is clean. Nothing else was built, so any patch touching code that x86_64 defconfig does not compile has been read but not compiled.
