mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()

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.
