This assignment is being done again in case thread was running in user mode.
That can now be done away with as above code will take care of both the cases.

	if (!user_mode(regs))
		goto gp_in_kernel;

	current->thread.error_code = error_code;
	current->thread.trap_no = 13;
	force_sig(SIGSEGV, current);
