[PATCH v5 22/22] powerpc/mm: Add speculative page fault

[Laurent Dufour]

This patch enable the speculative page fault on the PowerPC
architecture.

This will try a speculative page fault without holding the mmap_sem,
if it returns with VM_FAULT_RETRY, the mmap_sem is acquired and the
traditional page fault processing is done.

Build on if CONFIG_SPF is defined (currently for BOOK3S_64 && SMP).
