Steven Rostedt e5e3c84b70 enable interrupts in user path of page fault.
This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;)  then the
do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the

  goto bad_area_nosemaphore;

But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
higher priority task.

This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
bad_area_nosemaphore.
