Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 034/144] x86/asm/entry/32: Fix user_mode() misuses

3.16.7-ckt10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

commit 394838c96013ba414a24ffe7a2a593a9154daadf upstream.

The one in do_debug() is probably harmless, but better safe than sorry.
