userfaultfd: shmem: __do_fault requires VM_FAULT_NOPAGE
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745052 [ Upstream commit 6bbc4a41 ] __do_fault assumes vmf->page has been initialized and is valid if VM_FAULT_NOPAGE is not returned by vma->vm_ops->fault(vma, vmf). handle_userfault() in turn should return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE if it doesn't return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS or VM_FAULT_RETRY (the other two possibilities). This VM_FAULT_NOPAGE case is only invoked when signal are pending and it didn't matter for anonymous memory before. It only started to matter since shmem was introduced. hugetlbfs also takes a different path and doesn't exercise __do_fault.
