[PATCH v3 07/21] powerpc/8xx: DataAccess exception not generated by MPC8xx

DataAccess exception is never generated by MPC8xx so do the job directly where
it is used to avoid an unnecessary branching.

Changes in v2:
- None

Changes in v3:
- arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c uses the vector number, so make sure it understands
the new ones.
