um: fix _nofault accesses
Nathan reported [1] that when built with clang, the um kernel
crashes pretty much immediately. This turned out to be an issue
with the inline assembly I had added, when clang used %rax/%eax
for both operands. Reorder it so current->thread.segv_continue
is written first, and then the lifetime of _faulted won't have
overlap with the lifetime of segv_continue.
In the email thread Benjamin also pointed out that current->mm
is only NULL for true kernel tasks, but we could do this for a
userspace task, so the current->thread.segv_continue logic must
be lifted out of the mm==NULL check.
Finally, while looking at this, put a barrier() so the NULL
assignment to thread.segv_continue cannot be reorder before
the possibly faulting operation.
