copy_from_kernel_nofault() can be called when doing read of /proc/kcore.
/proc/kcore can have some unmapped kfence objects which when read via
copy_from_kernel_nofault() can cause page faults. Since *_nofault()
functions define their own fixup table for handling fault, use that
instead of asking kfence to handle such faults.

Hence we search the exception tables for the nip which generated the
fault. If there is an entry then we let the fixup table handler handle the
page fault by returning an error from within ___do_page_fault().

This can be easily triggered if someone tries to do dd from /proc/kcore.
dd if=/proc/kcore of=/dev/null bs=1M

<some example false negatives>

Guessing the fix should go back to when we first got kfence on PPC32.

This is a heavy operation. It should at least be done only when KFENCE 
is built-in.

kfence_handle_page_fault() bails out immediately when 
is_kfence_address() returns false, and is_kfence_address() returns 
always false when KFENCE is not built-in.

So you could check that before calling the heavy weight 
search_exception_tables().

		if (is_kfence_address(address) &&
		    !search_exception_tables(instruction_pointer(regs)) &&
		    kfence_handle_page_fault(address, is_write, regs))
			return 0;

Yes, thanks for the input. I agree with above. I will take that in v3.
I will wait for sometime for any review comments on other patches before
spinning a v3, though.
