Subject: [PATCH 3/4] arm64/mm: Consolidate page fault information capture

This consolidates page fault information capture and move them bit earlier.
While here it also adds an wrapper is_write_abort(). It also saves some
cycles by replacing multiple user_mode() calls into a single one earlier
during the fault.
