x86/traps: Fix up general protection faults caused by UMIP
If the User-Mode Instruction Prevention CPU feature is available and
enabled, a general protection fault will be issued if the instructions
sgdt, sldt, sidt, str or smsw are executed from user-mode context
(CPL > 0). If the fault was caused by any of the instructions protected
by UMIP, fixup_umip_exception() will emulate dummy results for these
instructions as follows: in virtual-8086 and protected modes, sgdt, sidt
and smsw are emulated; str and sldt are not emulated. No emulation is done
for user-space long mode processes.
If emulation is successful, the emulated result is passed to the user space
program and no SIGSEGV signal is emitted.
