Faults from copy_from_kernel_nofault() needs to be handled by fixup
table and should not be handled by kfence. Otherwise while reading
/proc/kcore which uses copy_from_kernel_nofault(), kfence can generate
false negatives. This can happen when /proc/kcore ends up reading an
unmapped address from kfence pool.
Let's add a testcase to cover this case.

Will be nice if we can get some feedback on this.
v2 -> v3:
=========
1. Separated out this kfence kunit test from the larger powerpc+kfence+v3 series.
2. Dropped RFC tag
