[PATCH v4 4/9] powerpc/vas: Return paste instruction failure if no active window

The VAS window may not be active if the system looses credits and
the NX generates page fault when it receives request on unmap
paste address.

The kernel handles the fault by remap new paste address if the
window is active again, Otherwise return the paste instruction
failure if the executed instruction that caused the fault was
a paste.
