mm: check against orig_pte for finish_fault()

This patch allows do_fault() to trigger on !pte_none() cases too.  This
prepares for the pte markers to be handled by do_fault() just like none
pte.

To achieve this, instead of unconditionally check against pte_none() in
finish_fault(), we may hit the case that the orig_pte was some pte marker
so what we want to do is to replace the pte marker with some valid pte
entry.  Then if orig_pte was set we'd want to check the current *pte
(under pgtable lock) against orig_pte rather than none pte.

Right now there's no solid way to safely reference orig_pte because when
pmd is not allocated handle_pte_fault() will not initialize orig_pte, so
it's not safe to reference it.

There's another solution proposed before this patch to do pte_clear() for
vmf->orig_pte for pmd==NULL case, however it turns out it'll break arm32
because arm32 could have assumption that pte_t* pointer will always reside
on a real ram32 pgtable, not any kernel stack variable.

To solve this, we add a new flag FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID, and it'll be
set along with orig_pte when there is valid orig_pte, or it'll be cleared
when orig_pte was not initialized.

It'll be updated every time we call handle_pte_fault(), so e.g.  if a page
fault retry happened it'll be properly updated along with orig_pte.
