mm: clean up the last pieces of page fault accountings 

Here're the last pieces of page fault accounting that were still done
outside handle_mm_fault() where we still have regs==NULL when calling
handle_mm_fault():

arch/powerpc/mm/copro_fault.c:   copro_handle_mm_fault
arch/sparc/mm/fault_32.c:        force_user_fault
arch/um/kernel/trap.c:           handle_page_fault
mm/gup.c:                        faultin_page
                                 fixup_user_fault
mm/hmm.c:                        hmm_vma_fault
mm/ksm.c:                        break_ksm

Some of them has the issue of duplicated accounting for page fault
retries.  Some of them didn't do the accounting at all.

This patch cleans all these up by letting handle_mm_fault() to do per-task
page fault accounting even if regs==NULL (though we'll still skip the perf
event accountings).  With that, we can safely remove all the outliers now.

There's another functional change in that now we account the page faults
to the caller of gup, rather than the task_struct that passed into the gup
code.  More information of this can be found at [1].

After this patch, below things should never be touched again outside
handle_mm_fault():

  - task_struct.[maj|min]_flt
  - PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_[MAJ|MIN]
