Subject: [PATCH v2] alpha: fix page fault handling for r16-r18 targets

Fix page fault handling code to fixup r16-r18 registers.
Before the patch code had off-by-two registers bug.
This bug caused overwriting of ps,pc,gp registers instead
of fixing intended r16,r17,r18 (see `struct pt_regs`).

More details:

Initially Dmitry noticed a kernel bug as a failure
on strace test suite. Test passes unmapped userspace
pointer to io_submit:

```c
    #include <err.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <sys/mman.h>
    #include <asm/unistd.h>
    int main(void)
    {
        unsigned long ctx = 0;
        if (syscall(__NR_io_setup, 1, &ctx))
            err(1, "io_setup");
        const size_t page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
        const size_t size = page_size * 2;
        void *ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                         MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        if (MAP_FAILED == ptr)
            err(1, "mmap(%zu)", size);
        if (munmap(ptr, size))
            err(1, "munmap");
        syscall(__NR_io_submit, ctx, 1, ptr + page_size);
        syscall(__NR_io_destroy, ctx);
        return 0;
    }
```

Running this test causes kernel to crash when handling page fault:

```

```

Here `gp` has invalid value. `gp is s overwritten by a fixup for the
following page fault handler in `io_submit` syscall handler:

```
    __se_sys_io_submit
    ...
        ldq     a1,0(t1)
        bne     t0,4280 <__se_sys_io_submit+0x180>
```

After a page fault `t0` should contain -EFALUT and `a1` is 0.
Instead `gp` was overwritten in place of `a1`.

This happens due to a off-by-two bug in `dpf_reg()` for `r16-r18`
(aka `a0-a2`).

I think the bug went unnoticed for a long time as `gp` is one
of scratch registers. Any kernel function call would re-calculate `gp`.

Dmitry tracked down the bug origin back to 2.1.32 kernel version
where trap_a{0,1,2} fields were inserted into struct pt_regs.
And even before that `dpf_reg()` contained off-by-one error.
