mm: introduce FAULT_FLAG_DEFAULT

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them
are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags.  Say,
merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried,
and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL.

Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial
page fault flags that were copied over.  With this, it'll be far easier to
introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead
of touching all the archs.
