If pagefault triggers due to SMEP triggering, it can't be really easily
distinguished from any other oops-causing pagefault, which might lead to quite
some confusion when trying to understand the reason for the oops.
Print an explanatory message in case the fault happened during instruction
fetch for _PAGE_USER page which is present and executable on SMEP-enabled CPUs.
This is consistent with what we are doing for NX already; in addition to
immediately seeing from the oops what might be happening, it can even easily
give a good indication to sysadmins who are carefully monitoring their kernel
logs that someone might be trying to pwn them.
