Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fault: Implement copy_from_kernel_nofault_allowed()

Under PAN emulation when dumping backtraces from things like the
LKDTM EXEC_USERSPACE test[1], a double fault (which would hang a CPU)
would happen because of dump_instr() attempting to read a userspace
address. Make sure copy_from_kernel_nofault() does not attempt this
any more.
