Subject: sparc64: Fix corrupted thread fault code.

[ Upstream commit 84bd6d8b9c0f06b3f188efb479c77e20f05e9a8a ]

Every path that ends up at do_sparc64_fault() must install a valid
FAULT_CODE_* bitmask in the per-thread fault code byte.

Two paths leading to the label winfix_trampoline (which expects the
FAULT_CODE_* mask in register %g4) were not doing so:

1) For pre-hypervisor TLB protection violation traps, if we took
   the 'winfix_trampoline' path we wouldn't have %g4 initialized
   with the FAULT_CODE_* value yet.  Resulting in using the
   TLB_TAG_ACCESS register address value instead.

2) In the TSB miss path, when we notice that we are going to use a
   hugepage mapping, but we haven't allocated the hugepage TSB yet, we
   still have to take the window fixup case into consideration and
   in that particular path we leave %g4 not setup properly.

Errors on this sort were largely invisible previously, but after
commit 4ccb9272892c33ef1c19a783cfa87103b30c2784 ("sparc64: sun4v TLB
error power off events") we now have a fault_code mask bit
(FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA) that triggers due to this bug.

FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA triggers because this bit is set in TLB_TAG_ACCESS
(see #1 above) and thus we get seemingly random bus errors triggered
for user processes.
