= Uniform square-root perturbation under linear growth

If $\varepsilon:\mathbb R\to[0,\infty)$ satisfies $\varepsilon(t)\leq M|t|$, then
$$
0\leq\sqrt{x^2+\varepsilon(x/n)}-|x|
=\frac{\varepsilon(x/n)}{\sqrt{x^2+\varepsilon(x/n)}+|x|}
\leq\frac Mn.
$$
Thus these square-root perturbations converge uniformly to $|x|$.
