x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handling



Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit

Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is
slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check
in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant
oops.

It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the
end of pagefault triggered oopses:

 	printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address);

Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump
digital-camera jpegs ;-)

The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both
variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers
crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.

This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the
function a lot nicer read.
