mm/gup: Factor out VMA fault permission checking

hansendc · Ingo Molnar · commit d4925e00d596 · 2016-02-18T09:32:43.000+01:00
This code matches a fault condition up with the VMA and ensures that the VMA allows the fault to be handled instead of just erroring out. We will be extending this in a moment to comprehend protection keys.
