Subject: [PATCH] riscv/mm: Prevent kernel module access user-space memory without uaccess routines

In the page fault handler, an access to user-space memory
without get/put_user() or copy_from/to_user() routines is
not resolved properly. Like arm and other architectures,
we need to let it die earlier in page fault handler.
