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.
