Subject: [PATCH v21 21/28] x86/fault: Add helper function to sanitize error code

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

...to prepare for vDSO exception fixup, which will expose the error code
to userspace and runs before set_signal_archinfo(), i.e. suppresses the
signal when fixup is successful.
