[S390] mm: handle kernel caused page fault oom situations

Browse source 
If e.g. copy_from_user() generates a page fault and the kernel runs
into an OOM situation the system might lock up.
If the OOM killer sends a SIG_KILL to the current process it can't
handle it since it is stuck in a copy_from_user() - page fault loop.

Fix this by adding the same fix as other architectures have.

E.g. the x86 variant f86268 "x86/mm: Handle mm_fault_error() in kernel
space"
