bpf: Fix mmap_lock deadlock on arena lock failure

Reported by the Sashiko AI review.

arena_vm_fault() returns VM_FAULT_RETRY when it can't take
arena->spinlock, but it never took mmap_lock. The fault path assumes a
VM_FAULT_RETRY handler already dropped mmap_lock and re-takes it on the
retry, so mmap_lock gets taken twice and can deadlock:

 1do_user_addr_fault()
 2{
 3	fault = handle_mm_fault(...);   // calls arena_vm_fault()
 4	if (fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY)
 5		goto retry;   // re-locks mmap_lock
 6	mmap_read_unlock(mm);
 7}

Return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS instead, for two reasons:

1. We could keep VM_FAULT_RETRY, but then we'd have to drop the fault
   lock first and cap the retry ourselves, the way __folio_lock_or_retry()
   does.

2. A failed raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave() already means a possible deadlock
   was detected, so retrying just hits the same lock again.

So returning VM_FAULT_RETRY here is overkill.
