Subject: [PATCH 15/31] mm: factor out VMA fault permission checking


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

This code matches a fault condition up with the VMA and ensures
that the VMA allows the fault to be handled instead of just
erroring out.

We will be extending this in a moment to comprehend protection
keys.
