[POWERPC] Make alignment exception always check exception table
The alignment exception used to only check the exception table for -EFAULT, not for other errors. That opens an oops window if we can coerce the kernel into getting an alignment exception for other reasons in what would normally be a user-protected accessor, which can be done via some of the futex ops. This fixes it by always checking the exception tables. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
