x86/context-tracking: Remove exception_enter/exit() from do_page_fault()
do_page_fault(), like other exceptions, is already covered by
user_enter() and user_exit() when the exception triggers in userspace.
As explained in:
8c84014f3bbb11 ("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(). The only known
offender was do_fast_syscall_32() fetching EBP register from where
vDSO stashed it.
Meanwhile this got fixed in:
9999c8c01f34c9 ("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.
