[patch 20/38] Minor fault path optimization.

[-- Attachment #1: 123-minor-fault.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 10626 bytes --]

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The minor fault path has grown a lot in terms of cycles. In particular
the kprobes hook is very costly. Optimize the path to save a couple of
cycles. If kprobes is enabled more than 300 cycles can be avoided if
kprobes_running() is false.
