Subject: mm/arm: use general page fault accounting

From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/arm: use general page fault accounting
Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into
handle_mm_fault(). It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault
accounting when page fault retry happened. To do this, we need to pass
the pt_regs pointer into __do_page_fault().
Fix PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf event manually for page fault retries,
by moving it before taking mmap_sem.
