This reverts commit
61a74ad25462 ("riscv: misaligned: fix sleeping function
called during misaligned access handling"). The commit addresses a sleeping
in atomic context problem, but it is not the correct fix as explained by
Clément:
"Using nofault would lead to failure to read from user memory that is paged
out for instance. This is not really acceptable, we should handle user
misaligned access even at an address that would generate a page fault."
This bug has been properly fixed by commit
453805f0a28f ("riscv:
misaligned: enable IRQs while handling misaligned accesses").
Revert this improper fix.
