    [S390] pfault: fix token handling · e35c76cd

     "[S390] cleanup lowcore access from external interrupts" changed
    handling of external interrupts. Instead of letting the external interrupt
    handlers accessing the per cpu lowcore the entry code of the kernel reads
    already all fields that are necessary and passes them to the handlers.
    The pfault interrupt handler was incorrectly converted. It tries to
    dereference a value which used to be a pointer to a lowcore field. After
    the conversion however it is not anymore the pointer to the field but its
    content. So instead of a dereference only a cast is needed to get the
    task pointer that caused the pfault.
    
    Fixes a NULL pointer dereference and a subsequent kernel crash:
    
    Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address (null)
