x86/asm/entry: Add user_mode_ignore_vm86()
user_mode() is dangerous and user_mode_vm() has a confusing name.
Add user_mode_ignore_vm86() (equivalent to current user_mode()).
We'll change the small number of legitimate users of user_mode()
to user_mode_ignore_vm86().
Inspired by grsec, although this works rather differently.
