Rather than modifying the 'address' field of the 'struct vm_fault_info'

Ack.

In fact - apart from the question I had about the 'info' sub-structure
- ack on the whole series. But this one struck me particularly as
"that's simpler and clearer" even if that finish_fault() case is now
not as pretty (but with an unnamed structure it would be slightly
simpler, at least).
