alc e02fd6b842 Handle spurious page faults that may occur in no-fault sections of the
kernel.

When access restrictions are added to a page table entry, we flush the
corresponding virtual address mapping from the TLB.  In contrast, when
access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, we do not
flush the virtual address mapping from the TLB.  This is exactly as
recommended in AMD's documentation.  In effect, when access
restrictions are removed from a page table entry, AMD's MMUs will
transparently refresh a stale TLB entry.  In short, this saves us from
having to perform potentially costly TLB flushes.  In contrast,
Intel's MMUs are allowed to generate a spurious page fault based upon
the stale TLB entry.  Usually, such spurious page faults are handled
by vm_fault() without incident.  However, when we are executing
no-fault sections of the kernel, we are not allowed to execute
vm_fault().  This change introduces special-case handling for spurious
page faults that occur in no-fault sections of the kernel.

In collaboration with:	kib
Tested by:		gibbs (an earlier version)

I would also like to acknowledge Hiroki Sato's assistance in
diagnosing this problem.
