x86: finish user fault error path with fatal signal

commit 3a13c4d761b4b979ba8767f42345fed3274991b0 upstream.

The x86 fault handler bails in the middle of error handling when the
task has a fatal signal pending.  For a subsequent patch this is a
problem in OOM situations because it relies on pagefault_out_of_memory()
being called even when the task has been killed, to perform proper
per-task OOM state unwinding.

Shortcutting the fault like this is a rather minor optimization that
saves a few instructions in rare cases.  Just remove it for
user-triggered faults.

Use the opportunity to split the fault retry handling from actual fault
errors and add locking documentation that reads suprisingly similar to
ARM's.
