[PATCH v2 28/43] powerpc/64e: Call bad_page_fault() from do_page_fault()

book3e/64 is the last one calling __bad_page_fault()
from assembly.

Save non volatile registers before calling do_page_fault()
and modify do_page_fault() to call __bad_page_fault()
for all platforms.

Then it can be refactored by the call of bad_page_fault()
which avoids the duplication of the exception table search.
