Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/4] mm: Check against orig_pte for finish_fault()

We used to check against none pte and in those cases orig_pte should always be
none pte anyway.

This change prepares us to be able to call do_fault() on !none ptes.  For
example, we should allow that to happen for pte marker that has PAGEOUT set.
