Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] fmm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling

This patch addresses three regressions identified in memory failure
handling, as discovered using ras-tools[1]:

- `./einj_mem_uc copyin -f`
- `./einj_mem_uc futex -f`
- `./einj_mem_uc instr`

The regressions in the copyin and futex cases were caused by the
replacement of `EX_TYPE_UACCESS` with `EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG` in some
copy-from-user operations, leading to kernel panics. The instr case
regression resulted from the PTE entry not being marked as hwpoison,
causing the system to send unnecessary SIGBUS signals.

These fixes ensure proper handling of memory errors and prevent kernel
panics and unnecessary signal dispatch.
