mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault() codepaths
alloc_set_pte() has two users with different requirements: in the faultaround code, it called from an atomic context and PTE page table has to be preallocated. finish_fault() can sleep and allocate page table as needed. PTL locking rules are also strange, hard to follow and overkill for finish_fault(). Let's untangle the mess. alloc_set_pte() has gone now. All locking is explicit. The price is some code duplication to handle huge pages in faultaround path, but it should be fine, having overall improvement in readability.
