x86/mm/pkeys: Optimize fault handling in access_error()

We might not strictly have to make modifictions to
access_error() to check the VMA here.

If we do not, we will do this:

 1. app sets VMA pkey to K
 2. app touches a !present page
 3. do_page_fault(), allocates and maps page, sets pte.pkey=K
 4. return to userspace
 5. touch instruction reexecutes, but triggers PF_PK
 6. do PKEY signal

What happens with this patch applied:

 1. app sets VMA pkey to K
 2. app touches a !present page
 3. do_page_fault() notices that K is inaccessible
 4. do PKEY signal

We basically skip the fault that does an allocation.

So what this lets us do is protect areas from even being
*populated* unless it is accessible according to protection
keys.  That seems handy to me and makes protection keys work
more like an mprotect()'d mapping.
