[PATCH] mm: page fault handlers tidyup

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page,
do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their
arguments in the same order, called the same names?

break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to
compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page.

do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing
pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear
vmas, so just check that.  BUG_ON if not?  Better not, it's probably page
table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's
use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too.

Hah!  Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it:
restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).
