[PATCH 0/3] mm/arch: Fix a few collide definition on private use of VM_FAULT_*

From: Peter Xu

I noticed a few collision usage on VM_FAULT_* definition in the page fault
path on arm/arm64/s390 where the VM_FAULT_* can overlap with the generic
definition of vm_fault_reason.

The major overlapped part being VM_FAULT_HINDEX_MASK which is used only by
the hugetlb hwpoisoning.

I'm not sure whether any of them can have a real impact, but that does not
look like to be expected. I didn't copy stable, if anyone thinks it should
please shoot. Nor did I test them in any form - I just changed the
allocations from top bits and added a comment for each of them.

Please have a look, thanks.
