The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault(). All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.

This builds upon eeabac7386
("sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.")
Upon further consideration, we actually should never see any
fault addresses for 32-bit tasks with the upper 32-bits set.
If it does every happen, by definition it's a bug. Whatever
context created that fault would only have that fault satisfied
if we used the full 64-bit address. If we truncate it, we'll
always fault the wrong address and we'll always loop faulting
forever.
So catch such conditions and mark them as errors always. Log
the error and fail the fault.

In order to handle all of the cases of address calculation overflow
properly, we run sparc 32-bit processes in "address masking" mode
when running on a 64-bit kernel.
Address masking mode zeros out the top 32-bits of the address
calculated for every load and store instruction.
However, when we're in privileged mode we have to run with that
address masking mode disabled even when accessing userspace from
the kernel.
To "simulate" the address masking mode we clear the top-bits by
hand for 32-bit processes in the fault handler.
It is the responsibility of code in the compat layer to properly
zero extend addresses used to access userspace. If this isn't
followed properly we can get into a fault loop.
Say that the user address is 0xf0000000 but for whatever reason
the kernel code sign extends this to 64-bit, and then the kernel
tries to access the result.
In such a case we'll fault on address 0xfffffffff0000000 but the fault
handler will process that fault as if it were to address 0xf0000000.
We'll loop faulting forever because the fault never gets satisfied.
So add a check specifically for this case, when the kernel is faulting
on a user address access and the addresses don't match up.
This code path is sufficiently slow path, and this bug is sufficiently
painful to diagnose, that this kind of bug check is warranted.

- move all sparc64/mm/ files to arch/sparc/mm/
- commonly named files are named _64.c
- add files to sparc/mm/Makefile preserving link order
- delete now unused sparc64/mm/Makefile
- sparc64 now finds mm/ in sparc
