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.
