Subject: [PATCH-RFC] x86: Remove last user of get_segment_eip

Ingo, this probably shouldn't be applied without someone
with a much deeper understanding having a look.  I think
I've properly understood how the segment limits were being
set/returned, but I am _not_ sure that probe_kernel_address()
will catch all the same cases, so I could be on crack here.

is_prefetch was the last user of get_segment_eip and only on
X86_32.  This function returned the faulting instruction's
address and set the upper segment limit.

Instead, use the convert_ip_to_linear helper and rely on
probe_kernel_address to do the segment checks which was
already done everywhere the segment limit was being checked
on X86_32.

Remove get_segment_eip as well.
