Commit d065bd810b ("mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk
transfer") and 37b23e0525 ("x86,mm: make pagefault killable")
introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler for making the page
fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial during OOM
killer invocation.
Port these changes to ALPHA.
