ARM: fix branch predictor hardeningfixes

__do_user_fault() may be called with indeterminent interrupt enable
state, which means we may be preemptive at this point. This causes
problems when calling harden_branch_predictor(). For example, when
called from a data abort, do_alignment_fault()->do_bad_area().

Move harden_branch_predictor() out of __do_user_fault() and into the
calling contexts.

Moving it into do_kernel_address_page_fault(), we can be sure that
interrupts will be disabled here.

Converting do_translation_fault() to use do_kernel_address_page_fault()
rather than do_bad_area() means that we keep branch predictor handling
for translation faults. Interrupts will also be disabled at this call
site.

do_sect_fault() needs special handling, so detect user mode accesses
to kernel-addresses, and add an explicit call to branch predictor
hardening.

Finally, add branch predictor hardening to do_alignment() for the
faulting case (user mode accessing kernel addresses) before interrupts
are enabled.

This should cover all cases where harden_branch_predictor() is called,
ensuring that it is always has interrupts disabled, also ensuring that
it is called early in each call path.
