[SPARC64]: Simplify user fault fixup handling.

Instead of doing byte-at-a-time user accesses to figure
out where the fault occurred, read the saved fault_address
from the current thread structure.

For the sake of defensive programming, if the fault_address
does not fall into the user buffer range, simply assume the
whole area faulted.  This will cause the fixup for
copy_from_user() to clear the entire kernel side buffer.
