kernel - Fix CVE-2018-8897, debug register issue
* #DB can be delayed in a way that causes it to occur on the first
instruction of the int $3 or syscall handlers. These handlers must
be able to detect and handle the condition. This is a historical
artifact of cpu operation that has existed for a very long time on
both AMD and Intel CPUs.
* Fix by giving #DB its own trampoline stack and a way to load a
deterministic %gs and %cr3 independent of the normal CS check.
This is CVE-2018-8897.
* Also fix the NMI trampoline while I'm here.
* Also fix an old issue with debug register trace traps which can
occur when the kernel is accessing the user's address space.
This fix was lost years ago, now recovered.
