[PATCH 1/2] um: do not panic on kernel mode faults

[Petr Tesarik]

From: Petr Tesarik <petr.tesar...@huawei-partners.com>

Do not call panic() on unrecoverable page faults in kernel mode. Although
such page faults always indicate a bug in the kernel, other architectures
prefer to kill only the current process and continue.

The new behavior is useful for testing intentional kernel mode page faults
with KUnit.
