Frederic Weisbecker ee6352b2c4 x86/context-tracking: Remove exception_enter/exit() from do_page_fault()
do_page_fault(), like other exceptions, is already covered by
user_enter() and user_exit() when the exception triggers in userspace.

As explained in:

  8c84014f3b ("x86/entry: Remove exception_enter() from most trap handlers")

exception_enter/exit() only remained to handle possible page fault from
kernel mode while context tracking is in CONTEXT_USER mode, ie: on
kernel entry before we manage to call user_exit(). The only known
offender was do_fast_syscall_32() fetching EBP register from where
vDSO stashed it.

Meanwhile this got fixed in:

  9999c8c01f ("x86/entry: Call enter_from_user_mode() with IRQs off")

that moved enter_from_user_mode() before the call to get_user().

So we can safely remove it now.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
