== SRU Justification ==
This commit fixes a regression introduced by mainline commit
5ef3166e8a32.  This commit is being requested by IBM as an update to the
ocxl driver.
 
This fix was also cc'd to upstream stable, but it is still in
linux-next.

== Fix ==
linux-next commit:
d497ebf5fb3a "(ocxl: Fix page fault handler in case of fault on dying process)"

== Regression Potential ==
Low.  Limited to the ocxl driver.  This commit fixes a current regression.  
It was also cc'd to upstream stable, it has had additional upstream review.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
