uprobes: __create_xol_area() must nullify xol_mapping.fault
As Jiri pointed out, this recent commit: f872f5400cc0 ("mm: Add a vm_special_mapping.fault() method") breaks uprobes: __create_xol_area() doesn't initialize the new ->fault() method and this obviously leads to kernel crash when the application tries to execute the probed insn after bp hit. We probably want to add uprobes_special_mapping_fault(), this allows to turn xol_area->xol_mapping into a single instance of vm_special_mapping. But we need a simple fix, so lets change __create_xol() to nullify the new member as Jiri suggests.
