Pull VM_FAULT_RETRY fixes from Al Viro:
 "Some of the page fault handlers do not deal with the following case
  correctly:

   - handle_mm_fault() has returned VM_FAULT_RETRY

   - there is a pending fatal signal

   - fault had happened in kernel mode

  Correct action in such case is not "return unconditionally" - fatal
  signals are handled only upon return to userland and something like
  copy_to_user() would end up retrying the faulting instruction and
  triggering the same fault again and again.

  What we need to do in such case is to make the caller to treat that as
  failed uaccess attempt - handle exception if there is an exception
  handler for faulting instruction or oops if there isn't one.

  Over the years some architectures had been fixed and now are handling
  that case properly; some still do not. This series should fix the
  remaining ones.

  Status:

   - m68k, riscv, hexagon, parisc: tested/acked by maintainers.

   - alpha, sparc32, sparc64: tested locally - bug has been reproduced
     on the unpatched kernel and verified to be fixed by this series.

   - ia64, microblaze, nios2, openrisc: build, but otherwise completely
     untested"
