[IA64] page_not_present fault in region 5 is normal
When copying data from user-space to kernel-space by __copy_user(), a page_not_present fault sometimes occurs at vmalloced kernel address because of VHPT pre-fetching. Ignore the page_not_present fault in ia64_do_page_fault() before jumping into exception handlers.
