Doing some extended tests and polishing the man page update for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), I realized that we end up converting also SIGBUS (via -EFAULT) to -EINVAL, making it look like yet another madvise() user error. We want to report only problematic mappings and permission problems that the user could have know as -EINVAL. Let's not convert -EFAULT arising due to SIGBUS (or SIGSEGV) to -EINVAL, but instead indicate -EFAULT to user space. While we could also convert it to -ENOMEM, using -EFAULT looks more helpful when user space might want to troubleshoot what's going wrong: MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) is not part of an final Linux release and we can still adjust the behavior.
