There is only one code path that can generate a pkuerr signal. That code path calls __bad_area_nosemaphore and can be dectected by testing if si_code == SEGV_PKUERR. It can be seen from inspection that all of the other tests in fill_sig_info_pkey are unnecessary. Therefore call force_sig_pkuerr directly from __bad_area_semaphore and remove fill_sig_info_pkey. At the same time move the comment above force_sig_info_pkey into bad_area_access_error, so that the documentation about pkey generation races is not lost.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
