Subject: [PATCH v4 13/26] mm/nios2: Use general page fault accounting

Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into handle_mm_fault().
It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault accounting when page fault
retry happened.

Add the missing PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf events too.  Note, the other two
perf events (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_[MAJ|MIN]) were done in handle_mm_fault().
