x86/fault: Improve kernel-executing-user-memory handling
Right now, the case of the kernel trying to execute from user memory is treated more or less just like the kernel getting a page fault on a user access. In the failure path, it checks for erratum #93, tries to otherwise fix up the error, and then oopses. If it manages to jump to the user address space, with or without SMEP, it should not try to resolve the page fault. This is an error, pure and simple. Rearrange the code so that this case is caught early, check for erratum #93, and bail out.
