sparc64: Don't bark so loudly about 32-bit tasks generating 64-bit fault addresses.

[ Upstream commit e5c460f46ae7ee94831cb55cb980f942aa9e5a85 ]

This was found using Dave Jone's trinity tool.

When a user process which is 32-bit performs a load or a store, the
cpu chops off the top 32-bits of the effective address before
translating it.

This is because we run 32-bit tasks with the PSTATE_AM (address
masking) bit set.

We can't run the kernel with that bit set, so when the kernel accesses
userspace no address masking occurs.

Since a 32-bit process will have no mappings in that region we will
properly fault, so we don't try to handle this using access_ok(),
which can safely just be a NOP on sparc64.

Real faults from 32-bit processes should never generate such addresses
so a bug check was added long ago, and it barks in the logs if this
happens.

But it also barks when a kernel user access causes this condition, and
that _can_ happen.  For example, if a pointer passed into a system call
is "0xfffffffc" and the kernel access 4 bytes offset from that pointer.

Just handle such faults normally via the exception entries.
