Christoph Hellwig 74a0b57627 x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft 
x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook.  This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.

I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.
