[PATCH 15/20] unicore32/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to do_pf

[Kautuk Consul]

Commit d065bd810b6deb67d4897a14bfe21f8eb526ba99
(mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer) and
commit 37b23e0525d393d48a7d59f870b3bc061a30ccdb
(x86,mm: make pagefault killable)

The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.

These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.

Port these changes to unicore32.

Sorry for replying so late.

I've tested the patch for compilation and running, but not triggered 
VM_FAULT_RETRY.
