Now that _exception no longer calls _exception_pkey it is no longer
necessary to handle any signal with any si_code. All pkey exceptions
are SIGSEGV with paired with SEGV_PKUERR. So just handle
that case and remove the now unnecessary parameters from _exception_pkey.

Commit a7a9dcd882 ("powerpc: Avoid taking a data miss on every
userspace instruction miss") has shown that limiting the read of
faulting instruction to likely cases improves performance.
This patch goes further into this direction by limiting the read
of the faulting instruction to the only cases where it is likely
needed.
On an MPC885, with the same benchmark app as in the commit referred
above, we see a reduction of about 3900 dTLB misses (approx 3%):
Before the patch:
Performance counter stats for './fault 500' (10 runs):
683033312 cpu-cycles ( +- 0.03% )
134538 dTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.03% )
46099 iTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.02% )
19681 faults ( +- 0.02% )
5.389747878 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.06% )
With the patch:
Performance counter stats for './fault 500' (10 runs):
682112862 cpu-cycles ( +- 0.03% )
130619 dTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.03% )
46073 iTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.05% )
19681 faults ( +- 0.01% )
5.381342641 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.07% )
The proper work of the huge stack expansion was tested with the
following app:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char buf[1024 * 1025];
sprintf(buf, "Hello world !\n");
printf(buf);
exit(0);
}

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.
Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.
The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.
In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.
Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

Instead of goto labels, instead call those functions and return.
This gets us closer to x86 and allows us to shring do_page_fault()

The main difference with x86 is that those function return a value

return value from do_page_fault() which we use to generate
kernel faults.

We currently test for is_exec and DSISR_PROTFAULT but that doesn't
make sense as this is the wrong error bit to test for an execute
permission failure.
In fact, we had code that would return early if we had an exec
fault in kernel mode so I think that was just dead code anyway.
Finally the location of that test is awkward and prevents further
simplifications.
So instead move that test into a helper along with the existing
early test for kernel exec faults and out of range accesses,
and put it all in a "bad_kernel_fault()" helper. While at it
test the correct error bits.

Early on in do_page_fault() we call store_updates_sp(), regardless of
the type of exception. For an instruction miss this doesn't make
sense, because we only use this information to detect if a data miss
is the result of a stack expansion instruction or not.
Worse still, it results in a data miss within every userspace
instruction miss handler, because we try and load the very instruction
we are about to install a pte for!
A simple exec microbenchmark runs 6% faster on POWER8 with this fix:
#include <stdlib.h>

char leftstr[16];
if (left-- == 0)
