x86/vsyscall: Do not require X86_PF_INSTR to emulate vsyscall
emulate_vsyscall() expects to see X86_PF_INSTR in PFEC on a vsyscall
page fault, but the CPU does not report X86_PF_INSTR if neither
X86_FEATURE_NX nor X86_FEATURE_SMEP are enabled.
X86_FEATURE_NX should be enabled on nearly all 64-bit CPUs, except for
early P4 processors that did not support this feature.
Instead of explicitly checking for X86_PF_INSTR, compare the fault
address to RIP.
On machines with X86_FEATURE_NX enabled, issue a warning if RIP is equal
to fault address but X86_PF_INSTR is absent.
