Subject: [PATCH] x86: Unify pte_exec helper

- Rename it to pte_exec() from pte_exec_kernel(). There is nothing
kernel specific in there.
- Move it into the common file because _PAGE_NX is 0 on !PAE and then
pte_exec() will be always evaluate to true.

Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@...il.com>

Taken from Patch 31/31 in Andi's CPA queue, added the init_32 change
as well.  Against x86.git
