Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed fault, so it's safe to behave this way. Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.
