x86/mm/pkeys: Fill in pkey field in siginfo
This fills in the new siginfo field: si_pkey to indicate to
userspace which protection key was set on the PTE that we faulted
on.
Note though that *ALL* protection key faults have to be generated
by a valid, present PTE at some point. But this code does no PTE
lookups which seeds odd. The reason is that we take advantage of
the way we generate PTEs from VMAs. All PTEs under a VMA share
some attributes. For instance, they are _all_ either PROT_READ
*OR* PROT_NONE. They also always share a protection key, so we
never have to walk the page tables; we just use the VMA.
Note that _pkey is a 64-bit value. The current hardware only
supports 4-bit protection keys. We do this because there is
_plenty_ of space in _sigfault and it is possible that future
processors would support more than 4 bits of protection keys.
