For ARC do_page_fault() is entered for MMU exceptions (TLB Miss, access violations
r/w/x etc). kprobes uses a combination of UNIMP_S and TRAP_S instructions which
don't funnel into do_page_fault().

UINMP_S leads to

instr_service
   do_insterror_or_kprobe
      notify_die(DIE_IERR)
         kprobe_exceptions_notify
            arc_kprobe_handler


TRAP_S 2 leads to

EV_Trap
   do_non_swi_trap
      trap_is_kprobe
         notify_die(DIE_TRAP)
            kprobe_exceptions_notify
               arc_post_kprobe_handler

But indeed we are *not* calling into kprobe_fault_handler() - from eithet of those
paths and not sure if the existing arc*_kprobe_handler() combination does the
equivalent in tandem.
