[RFC,35/47] mm: asi: asi_exit() on PF, skip handling if address is accessible

Commit Message

From: Ofir Weisse <[e-mail]>

On a page-fault - do asi_exit(). Then check if now after the exit the
address is accessible. We do this by refactoring spurious_kernel_fault()
into two parts:

1. Verify that the error code value is something that could arise from a
lazy TLB update.
2. Walk the page table and verify permissions, which is now called
is_address_accessible_now(). We also define PTE_PRESENT() and
PMD_PRESENT() which are suitable for checking userspace pages. For the
sake of spurious faualts,  pte_present() and pmd_present() are only
good for kernelspace pages. This is because these macros might return
true even if the present bit is 0 (only relevant for userspace).
