mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault
occurs in kernel space. E.g. in copy_from_user()/copy_to_user().
This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a
copy_to_user(), or a copy_from_user() which faults.
Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(),
because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it
can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns
to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes
page_fault again.
With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user().
The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space,
has been copied from do_sigbus().
This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa,
tile, ...
