[S390] mm: handle kernel caused page fault oom situations
If e.g. copy_from_user() generates a page fault and the kernel runs into an OOM situation the system might lock up. If the OOM killer sends a SIG_KILL to the current process it can't handle it since it is stuck in a copy_from_user() - page fault loop. Fix this by adding the same fix as other architectures have. E.g. the x86 variant f86268 "x86/mm: Handle mm_fault_error() in kernel space" Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
