x86/fault: Make error_code sanitization more robust
The error code in a page fault on a kernel address indicates
whether that address is mapped, which should not be revealed in a signal.
The normal code path for a page fault on a kernel address sanitizes the bit,
but the paths for vsyscall emulation and SIGBUS do not. Both are
harmless, but for subtle reasons. SIGBUS is never sent for a kernel
address, and vsyscall emulation will never fault on a kernel address
per se because it will fail an access_ok() check instead.
Make the code more robust by adding a helper that sets the relevant
fields and sanitizing the error code in the helper. This also
cleans up the code -- we had three copies of roughly the same thing.
