[PATCH v2 5/7] arm64: Handle faults caused by inadvertent user access with PAN enabled

When TTBR0_EL1 is set to the reserved page, an erroneous kernel access
to user space would generate a translation fault. This patch adds the
checks for the software-set PSR_PAN_BIT to emulate a permission fault
and report it accordingly.

This patch also updates the description of the synchronous external
aborts on translation table walks.
