Thanks for dilligently handling all the review feedback. This looks good
to me now, so FWIW:

There is one thing that I thing we should improve as a subsequent
cleanup, but I don't think that should block this as-is.

IIUC, the core kfence code is using this to figure out where to trace
from when there's a fault taken on an access to a protected page.

It would be better if the arch code passed the exception's pt_regs into
the kfence fault handler, and the kfence began the trace began from
there. That would also allow for dumping the exception registers which
can help with debugging (e.g. figuring out how the address was derived
when it's calculated from multiple source registers). That would also be
a bit more robust to changes in an architectures' exception handling
code.

Thanks,
Mark.
