mm: join struct fault_env and vm_fault
Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes.
