sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with disabled pagefaults

Commit 662bbcb2747c ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access
code (that uses might_fault()).

The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the
following scenario:

    pagefault_disable()
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    pagefault_enable()

Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter
and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not
sleep and return an error code if a page is not available.

However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed,
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario:

    spin_lock(&lock);
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    spin_unlock(&lock)

If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable()
will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would
correctly never sleep on user access.
However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP
(with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to
detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler
could sleep.
We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access
functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks.

Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as
preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off.

As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish
whether user acces functions might sleep.

Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to
allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.
