      x86-64: don't crash Xen upon direct pv guest access to GDT/LDT mapping 
area
      
      handle_gdt_ldt_mapping_fault() is intended to deal with indirect
      accesses (i.e. those caused by descriptor loads) to the GDT/LDT
      mapping area only. While for 32-bit segment limits indeed prevent the
      function being entered for direct accesses (i.e. a #GP fault will be
      raised even before the address translation gets done, on 64-bit even
      user mode accesses would lead to control reaching the BUG_ON() at the
      beginning of that function.
      
      Fortunately the fix is simple: Since the guest kernel runs in ring 3,
      any guest direct access will have the "user mode" bit set, whereas
      descriptor loads always do the translations to access the actual
      descriptors as kernel mode ones.
      
      Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>
      
      Further, relax the BUG_ON() in handle_gdt_ldt_mapping_fault() to a
      check-and-bail. This avoids any problems in future, if we don't
      execute x86_64 guest kernels in ring 3 (e.g., because we use a
      lightweight HVM container).
