x86/entry: Remove exception_enter() from most trap handlers



On 64-bit kernels, we don't need it any more: we handle context
tracking directly on entry from user mode and exit to user mode.

On 32-bit kernels, we don't support context tracking at all, so
these callbacks had no effect.

Note: this doesn't change do_page_fault().  Before we do that,
we need to make sure that there is no code that can page fault
from kernel mode with CONTEXT_USER.  The 32-bit fast system call
stack argument code is the only offender I'm aware of right now.
