arm64: mm: kfence: only handle translation faults
Alexander noted that KFENCE only expects to handle faults from invalid page table entries (i.e. translation faults), but arm64's fault handling logic will call kfence_handle_page_fault() for other types of faults, including alignment faults caused by unaligned atomics. This has the unfortunate property of causing those other faults to be reported as "KFENCE: use-after-free", which is misleading and hinders debugging. Fix this by only forwarding unhandled translation faults to the KFENCE code, similar to what x86 does already. Alexander has verified that this passes all the tests in the KFENCE test suite and avoids bogus reports on misaligned atomics.
