mm: fault feedback #2

This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer.  This requires requires
all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
however that would be for another patch).
