x86/fault: Fix SMAP #PF handling buglet for implicit supervisor accesses
Currently, if a user program somehow triggers an implicit supervisor access to a user address (e.g. if the kernel somehow sets LDTR to a user address), it will be incorrectly detected as a SMAP violation if AC is clear and SMAP is enabled. This is incorrect -- the error has nothing to do with SMAP. Fix the condition so that only accesses with the hardware USER bit set are diagnosed as SMAP violations. With the logic fixed, an implicit supervisor access to a user address will hit the code lower in the function that is intended to handle it even if SMAP is enabled. That logic is still a bit buggy, and later patches will clean it up. I *think* this code is still correct for WRUSS, and I've added a comment to that effect.
