x86/fault: Correct a few user vs kernel checks wrt WRUSS 

In general, page fault errors for WRUSS should be just like get_user(),
etc.  Fix three bugs in this area:

There is a comment that says that, if the kernel can't handle a page fault
on a user address due to OOM, the OOM-kill-and-retry logic would be
skipped.  The code checked kernel *privilege*, not kernel mode, so it
missed WRUSS.  This means that the kernel would malfunction if it got OOM
on a WRUSS fault -- this would be a kernel-mode, user-privilege fault, and
the OOM killer would be invoked and the handler would retry the faulting
instruction.

A failed user access from kernel while a fatal signal is pending should
fail even if the instruction in question was WRUSS.

do_sigbus() should not send SIGBUS for WRUSS -- it should handle it like
any other kernel mode failure.
