Not sure about this name - it still tries to recover:
efi_recover_from_page_fault().

Judging by where it is called, maybe no_context_tail() or
no_context_oops() or no_context_finish_me_already()...

Yah, I haz no better idea. :-\

Just do

		return page_fault_oops(...);

here and get rid of the label.
