[PATCH] powerpc/mm/hash: Hand user access of kernel address gracefully

["Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com>]

With commit 2865d08dd9ea ("powerpc/mm: Move the DSISR_PROTFAULT sanity check")
we moved the protection fault access check before vma lookup. That means we
hit that WARN_ON when user space access a kernel address.  Before the commit
this was handled by find_vma() not finding vma for the kernel address and
considering that access as bad area access.

Avoid the confusing WARN_ON and convert that to a ratelimited printk.
With the patch we now get

for load:
[  187.700294] a.out[5997]: User access of kernel address (c00000000000dea0) - exploit attempt? (uid: 1000)
