[PATCH v3 11/11] kernel: uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

This changes might_fault so that it does not
trigger a false positive diagnostic for e.g. the following
sequence:
        spin_lock_irqsave
        pagefault_disable
        copy_to_user
        pagefault_enable
        spin_unlock_irqrestore

In particular vhost wants to do this, to call
socket ops from under a lock.

There are 3 cases to consider:
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING - might_fault is non-inline
so it's easy to move the in_atomic test to fix
up the false positive warning.

CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP - might_fault
is currently inline, but we are calling a
non-inline __might_sleep anyway,
so let's use the non-line version of might_fault
that does the right thing.

!CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP && !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
__might_sleep is a nop so might_fault is a nop.
Make this explicit.
