powerpc/mm/hash: Handle user access of kernel address gracefully



In commit 2865d08d ("powerpc/mm: Move the DSISR_PROTFAULT sanity
check") we moved the protection fault access check before the vma
lookup. That means we hit that WARN_ON when user space accesses a
kernel address. Before that commit this was handled by find_vma() not
finding vma for the kernel address and considering that access as bad
area access.

Avoid the confusing WARN_ON and convert that to a ratelimited printk.

With the patch we now get:

for load:
  a.out[5997]: User access of kernel address (c00000000000dea0) - exploit attempt? (uid: 1000)
  a.out[5997]: segfault (11) at c00000000000dea0 nip 1317c0798 lr 7fff80d6441c code 1 in a.out[1317c0000+10000]
  a.out[5997]: code: 60000000 60420000 3c4c0002 38427790 4bffff20 3c4c0002 38427784 fbe1fff8

for exec:
