When events are enabled within the various tracing facilities, such as ftrace/perf, the event_mutex is held. As events are enabled pages are accessed. We do not want page faults to occur under this lock. Instead queue the fault to a workqueue to be handled in a process context safe way without the lock. The enable address is marked faulting while the async fault-in occurs. This ensures that we don't attempt to fault-in more than is necessary. Once the page has been faulted in, an address write is re-attempted. If the page couldn't fault-in, then we wait until the next time the event is enabled to prevent any potential infinite loops.
