x86/cpu: Fix SMAP check in PVOPS environments
There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is supposed to return precisely. Native returns the full flags, while lguest and Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at. This may have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is. To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour. Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV guests on Broadwell hardware. The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual build, but not consistent for all builds. It has also been a sitting timebomb since SMAP support was introduced. Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC flag.
