[PATCH] dax: enable dax fault handler to report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON

[Jane Chu]

When dax fault handler fails to provision the fault page due to
hwpoison, it returns VM_FAULT_SIGBUS which lead to a sigbus delivered
to userspace with .si_code BUS_ADRERR.  Channel dax backend driver's
detection on hwpoison to the filesystem to provide the precise reason
for the fault.
