It's also possible to race and have fault_around_bytes change between
when fault_around_mask() and fault_around_pages() are called so that
they don't match any more. The min()/max() in do_fault_around() should
keep this from doing anything _too_ nasty, but it's worth thinking about
at least.
The safest thing to do might be to use an ACCESS_ONCE() at the beginning
of do_fault_around() for fault_around_bytes and generate
fault_around_mask() from the ACCESS_ONCE() result.
