[PATCH] gpu: drm: etnaviv: Change return type to vm_fault_t

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For
now, this is just documenting that the function returns
a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances
are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

Ref- commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

Previously vm_insert_page() returns err which driver
mapped into VM_FAULT_* type. The new function 
vmf_insert_page() will replace this inefficiency by
returning VM_FAULT_* type.

A non-fatal signal being delivered to a task which is
in the middle of a page fault may well end up in an
infinite loop, attempting to handle the page fault and
failing forever.

On seeing NOPAGE, the fault handler believes the PTE
is in the page table, so does nothing before it returns
to arch code. It will end up returning to userspace if
the signal is non-fatal, at which point it'll go right
back into the page fault handler, and mutex_lock_interruptible()
will immediately fail.  So we've converted a sleeping lock
into the most expensive spinlock.

I don't think the graphics drivers really want to be
interrupted by any signal.  I think they want to be
interruptible by fatal signals and should use the
mutex_lock_killable / fatal_signal_pending family of
functions. So mutex_lock_interruptible() is replaced
by mutex_lock_killable()

vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function
in 4.17-rc6.
