This moves the 64s/hash context tracking from hash_page_mm() to __do_hash_fault(), so it's no longer called by OCXL / SPU accelerators, which was certainly the wrong thing to be doing, because those callers are not low level interrupt handlers, so should have entered a kernel context tracking already. Then remain in kernel context for the duration of the fault, rather than enter/exit for the hash fault then enter/exit for the page fault, which is pointless. Even still, calling exception_enter/exit in __do_hash_fault seems questionable because that's touching per-cpu variables, tracing, etc., which might have been interrupted by this hash fault or themselves cause hash faults. But maybe I miss something because hash_page_mm very deliberately calls trace_hash_fault too, for example. So for now go with it, it's no worse than before, in this regard.

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.
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.
