x86/mm: remove vmalloc faulting

Browse Source 
Remove fault handling on vmalloc areas, as the vmalloc code now takes
care of synchronizing changes to all page-tables in the system.

/*
* Sync back kernel address range again. We already did this in
* setup_arch(), but percpu data also needs to be available in
* the smpboot asm. We can't reliably pick up percpu mappings
* using vmalloc_fault(), because exception dispatch needs
* percpu data.
* the smpboot asm and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() doesn't sync to
* swapper_pg_dir on 32-bit. The per-cpu mappings need to be available
* there too.
*
* FIXME: Can the later sync in setup_cpu_entry_areas() replace
* this call?
