kprobes: Remove kprobe::fault_handler
The reason for kprobe::fault_handler(), as given by their comment: * We come here because instructions in the pre/post * handler caused the page_fault, this could happen * if handler tries to access user space by * copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. Let the * user-specified handler try to fix it first. Is just plain bad. Those other handlers are ran from non-preemptible context and had better use _nofault() functions. Also, there is no upstream usage of this.
