Subject: [PATCH v2] ipc: Adding new return type vm_fault_t

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For
now, this is just documenting that the function returns
a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances
are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

Commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
