[PATCH 05/11] x86/fault: Correct a few user vs kernel checks wrt WRUSS

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>]

In general, page fault errors for WRUSS should be just like get_user(),
etc.  Fix three bugs in this area:

We have a comment that says that, if we can't handle a page fault on a user
address due to OOM, we will skip the OOM-kill-and-retry logic.  The code
checked kernel *privilege*, not kernel mode, so it missed WRUSS.  This
means that we would malfunction if we got OOM on a WRUSS fault -- this
would be a kernel-mode, user-privilege fault, and we would invoke the OOM
killer and retry.

A failed user access from kernel while a fatal signal is pending should
fail even if the instruction in question was WRUSS.

do_sigbus() should not send SIGBUS for WRUSS -- it should handle it like
any other kernel mode failure.
