Can you inline this for the NOMMU case please?

Subject: mm: Fix fixup_user_fault() for MMU=n 

In commit 2efaca927 ("mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW
tracking of dirty & young") we forgot about MMU=n. This patch fixes
that.

Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <redacted>
Hoping the BUG() isn't trippable by userspace but then it's no mmu, it's
not like we care what userspace can do right :-)

Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Thanks !

Cheers,
Ben.
