[RFC PATCH v5 2/5] x86/fault: Add helper function to sanitize error code

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 16:57:40 EST


...to prepare for vDSO exception fixup, which will expose the error
code to userspace and runs before set_signal_archinfo(), i.e. squashes
the signal when fixup is successful.
