mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()
This changes might_fault() so that it does not
trigger a false positive diagnostic for e.g. the following
sequence:
	spin_lock_irqsave()
	pagefault_disable()
	copy_to_user()
	pagefault_enable()
	spin_unlock_irqrestore()
In particular vhost wants to do this, to call
socket ops from under a lock.
There are 3 cases to consider:
 - CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING - might_fault is non-inline
   so it's easy to move the in_atomic test to fix
   up the false positive warning.
 - CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP - might_fault
   is currently inline, but we are calling a
   non-inline __might_sleep anyway,
   so let's use the non-line version of might_fault
   that does the right thing.
 - !CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP && !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
   __might_sleep is a nop so might_fault is a nop.
Make this explicit.
