arm64: mm: allow the kernel to handle alignment faults on user accesses
Although we don't expect to take alignment faults on access to normal memory, misbehaving (i.e. buggy) user code can pass MMIO pointers into system calls, leading to things like get_user accessing device memory. Rather than OOPS the kernel, allow any exception fixups to run and return something like -EFAULT back to userspace. This makes the behaviour more consistent with userspace, even though applications with access to device mappings can easily cause other issues if they try hard enough.
