Additional information:

when user code execution with privilege mode, it will lead infinite loop

in the page fault handler if ARM_LPAE enabled,  the issue could be

reproduced with  "echo EXEC_USERSPACE > 
/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT"

also I could add a die_kernel_fault() (like arm64 does) to report different

message in different scenes.

Any comments, thanks.
