[PATCH] mm: pagefault_{disable,enable}()
Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did
manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the
atomic thing.
Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on
the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future.
(NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on
machines which have too many registers for their own good)
