[PATCH 0/9] ARC do_page_fault rework

[Vineet Gupta]

This was on my todo list and Eugeniy's patch in this area pestered me to
finish it finally.

The ideas it to cleanup/tidyup ancient do_page_fault() code and make
it more readable and hopefully better generated code. There are only
a few/subtle functional changes
 - Eugeniy's fix to prevent user space looping
 - reduction in mmap_sem hold times

Also this could have been 1 single patch but this is tricky part of mm
handling so better done as bite sized pieces to track down any regressions
