mm/fault, arch: Use pagefault_disable() to check for disabled pagefaults in the handler
Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and
disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers.
Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect
whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly
disabled).
In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults.
With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt
counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs.
We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling
might_sleep().
Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this
is needed.
faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in
linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.
This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.
