[PATCH 1/2] x86/context-tracking: Remove exception_enter/exit() from do_page_fault()

[Frederic Weisbecker]

do_page_fault(), like other exceptions, is already covered by
user_enter() and user_exit() when the exception triggers in userspace.

As explained in 8c84014f3bbb112d07e73f30a10ac8a3a72f8649
("x86/entry: Remove exception_enter() from most trap handlers"),
exception_enter/exit() only remained to handle possible page fault from
kernel mode while context tracking is in CONTEXT_USER mode, ie: on
kernel entry before we manage to call user_exit(). And the only known
offender was do_fast_syscall_32() fetching EBP register from where
vDSO stashed it.

Meanwhile this got fixed with 9999c8c01f34c918a57d6e5ba2f5d8b79aa04801
("x86/entry: Call enter_from_user_mode() with IRQs off") that moved
enter_from_user_mode() before the call to get_user().

So we can safely remove it now.
