ARM: allow __do_kernel_fault() to report execution of memory faults
Allow __do_kernel_fault() to detect the execution of memory, so we can
provide the same fault message as do_page_fault() would do. This is
required when we split the kernel address fault handling from the
main do_page_fault() code path.
