Will just return bool directly without an additional variable here as suggested
before. But for the conditional statement, I guess the proposed one here is more
compact than the x86 one.

Will replace commit message with above.

Both the above architectures dont call kprobe_fault_handler() from the
page fault context (do_page_fault() to be specific). Though it gets called
from mips kprobe_exceptions_notify (DIE_PAGE_FAULT). Am I missing something
here ?
