x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit too

Impact: improve page fault handling robustness

The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a
relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault()
implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU
detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory
entries.

Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault()
to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more
informative oops and the pagetables.

This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves
the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases
the 32-bit kernel text size.
