x86: don't allow clearing of TF_kernel_mode for other than 64-bit PV

The flag is really only meant for those, both HVM and 32-bit PV tell
kernel from user mode based on CPL/RPL. Remove the all-question-marks
comment and let's be on the safe side here and also suppress clearing
for 32-bit PV (this isn't a fast path after all).

Remove no longer necessary is_pv_32bit_*() from sh_update_cr3() and
sh_walk_guest_tables(). Note that shadow_one_bit_disable() already
assumes the new behavior.
