With this patch applied, parisc:allmodconfig images no longer build.

In file included from arch/parisc/mm/fixmap.c:8:
include/linux/kprobes.h: In function 'kprobe_page_fault':
include/linux/kprobes.h:477:9: error:
implicit declaration of function 'kprobe_fault_handler'; did you mean 'kprobe_page_fault'?

Reverting the patch fixes the problem.
