Optimise x86's do_page_fault (C entry point for the page fault path).

gcc isn't _all_ that smart about spilling registers to stack or reusing
stack slots, even with branch annotations. do_page_fault contained a lot
of functionality, so split unlikely paths into their own functions, and
mark them as noinline just to be sure. I consider this actually to be
somewhat of a cleanup too: the main function now contains about half
the number of lines.

Also, ensure the order of arguments to functions is always the same: regs,
addr, error_code. This can reduce code size a tiny bit, and just looks neater
too.

Add a couple of branch annotations.

One real behavioural difference this makes is that the OOM-init-task case
will no longer loop around the page fault handler, but will return to
userspace and presumably retry the fault. Effectively the same macro-behaviour,
but it is a notable difference. Such change in behaviour should disappear after
the "call oom killer from page fault" patch.

Before:
do_page_fault:
subq $360, %rsp #,

After:
do_page_fault:
subq $56, %rsp #,

bloat-o-meter:
add/remove: 8/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 2222/-1680 (542)
function old new delta
__bad_area_nosemaphore - 506 +506
no_context - 474 +474
vmalloc_fault - 424 +424
spurious_fault - 358 +358
mm_fault_error - 272 +272
bad_area_access_error - 89 +89
bad_area - 89 +89
bad_area_nosemaphore - 10 +10
do_page_fault 2464 784 -1680

Yes, the total size increases by 542 bytes, due to the extra function calls.
But these will very rarely be called (except for vmalloc_fault) in a normal
workload. Importantly, do_page_fault is less than 1/3rd it's original size.
Existing gotos and branch hints did move a lot of the infrequently used text
out of the fastpath, but that's even further improved after this patch.
