mm, kprobes: generalize and rename notify_page_fault() as kprobe_page_fault()

Architectures which support kprobes have very similar boilerplate around
calling kprobe_fault_handler().  Use a helper function in kprobes.h to
unify them, based on the x86 code.

This changes the behaviour for other architectures when preemption is
enabled.  Previously, they would have disabled preemption while calling
the kprobe handler.  However, preemption would be disabled if this fault
was due to a kprobe, so we know the fault was not due to a kprobe
handler and can simply return failure.

This behaviour was introduced in commit a980c0ef ("x86/kprobes:
Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()")
