[PATCH] powerpc: Don't let userspace trigger a kernel WARN_ON

[PATCH] powerpc: Don't let userspace trigger a kernel WARN_ON

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

In commit 2865d08dd9ea876524652f3900b4b3b9c8b22e77
"powerpc/mm: Move the DSISR_PROTFAULT sanity check",
I completely missed the fact that an attempt at reading
kernel memory *will* trip the warning.

So this partially reverts it. We keep the test in a
helper to keep the code clean, but we move it back to
after the VMA has been found.
