The vm_flags of vma already checked under per-VMA lock, if it is a
bad access, directly set fault to VM_FAULT_BADACCESS and handle error,
no need to retry with mmap_lock again, the latency time reduces 34% in
'lat_sig -P 1 prot lat_sig' from lmbench testcase.

Since the page faut is handled under per-VMA lock, count it as a vma lock
event with VMA_LOCK_SUCCESS.
