    x86/traps: Rework #PF[Rsvd] bit handling
    
    The reserved_bit_page_fault() paths effectively turn reserved bit faults 
into
    a warning, but in the light of L1TF, the real impact is far more serious.
    
    Make #PF[Rsvd] a hard error, irrespective of mode.  Any new panic() caused 
by
    this constitutes pagetable corruption, and probably an L1TF gadget needing
    fixing.
    
    Drop the PFEC_reserved_bit check in __page_fault_type() which has been made
    dead by the rearrangement in do_page_fault().
    
    Additionally, drop the comment for do_page_fault().  It is inaccurate (bit 0
    being set isn't always a protection violation) and stale (missing bits
    5,6,15,31).
