Steven Rostedt 3c3e5694ad x86: check PMD in spurious_fault handler
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions

If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access,
but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault
as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of:

 fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault

This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions
but the PMD does not.

[ Updated: Ingo Molnar suggested using WARN_ONCE with some text ]
