[patch 3/5] x86: finish fault error path with fatal signal

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

The x86 fault handler bails in the middle of error handling when the
task has been killed.  For the next patch this is a problem, because
it relies on pagefault_out_of_memory() being called even when the task
has been killed, to perform proper OOM state unwinding.

This is a rather minor optimization, just remove it.
