  arm64: fault: Route pte translation faults via do_translation_fault (2017-09-29 16:47:40 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 fixes:

- SPsel register initialisation on reset as the architecture defines its
  state as unknown

- Use READ_ONCE when dereferencing pmd_t pointers to avoid race
  conditions in page_vma_mapped_walk() (or fast GUP) with concurrent
  modifications of the page table

- Avoid invoking the mm fault handling code for kernel addresses (check
  against TASK_SIZE) which would otherwise result in calling
  might_sleep() in atomic context

----------------------------------------------------------------
