x86/mm, tracing: Fix CR2 corruption



Despite the current efforts to read CR2 before tracing happens there still
exist a number of possible holes:

  idtentry page_fault             do_page_fault           has_error_code=1
    call error_entry
      TRACE_IRQS_OFF
        call trace_hardirqs_off*
          #PF // modifies CR2

      CALL_enter_from_user_mode
        __context_tracking_exit()
          trace_user_exit(0)
            #PF // modifies CR2

    call do_page_fault
      address = read_cr2(); /* whoopsie */

And similar for i386.

Fix it by pulling the CR2 read into the entry code, before any of that
stuff gets a chance to run and ruin things.
