Subject: [PATCH v4 04/26] mm/arm: 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.  To do this, we need to pass the pt_regs pointer into
__do_page_fault().

Fix PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf event manually for page fault retries, by
moving it before taking mmap_sem.
