A previous commit changed the behaviour of the KVM_S390_VCPU_FAULT
ioctl. The current (wrong) implementation will trigger a guest
addressing exception if the requested address lies outside of a
memslot, unless the VM is UCONTROL.

Restore the previous behaviour by open coding the fault-in logic.

But I have a comment on a changed logic. And a nit

... which is not longer the case here. As you explicitly convert
ENOMENS in gmap_ucas_translate before the topup call tnot converting
might be an overlook (in the topup function?).

Yeah, I second that.
