[IA64] page_not_present fault in region 5 is normal

Browse Source 
When copying data from user-space to kernel-space by __copy_user(),
a page_not_present fault sometimes occurs at vmalloced kernel address
because of VHPT pre-fetching.

Ignore the page_not_present fault in ia64_do_page_fault() before
jumping into exception handlers.
