This patch allows do_fault() to trigger on !pte_none() cases too. This prepares for the pte markers to be handled by do_fault() just like none pte. To achieve this, instead of unconditionally check against pte_none() in finish_fault(), we may hit the case that the orig_pte was some pte marker so what we want to do is to replace the pte marker with some valid pte entry. Then if orig_pte was set we'd want to check the current *pte (under pgtable lock) against orig_pte rather than none pte. Right now there's no solid way to safely reference orig_pte because when pmd is not allocated handle_pte_fault() will not initialize orig_pte, so it's not safe to reference it. There's another solution proposed before this patch to do pte_clear() for vmf->orig_pte for pmd==NULL case, however it turns out it'll break arm32 because arm32 could have assumption that pte_t* pointer will always reside on a real ram32 pgtable, not any kernel stack variable. To solve this, we add a new flag FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID, and it'll be set along with orig_pte when there is valid orig_pte, or it'll be cleared when orig_pte was not initialized. It'll be updated every time we call handle_pte_fault(), so e.g. if a page fault retry happened it'll be properly updated along with orig_pte.
