x86/traps: 'Fix' safety of read_registers() in #DF path

All interrupts and exceptions pass a struct cpu_user_regs up into C.  This
contains the legacy vm86 fields from 32bit days, which are beyond the
hardware-pushed frame.

Accessing these fields is generally illegal, as they are logically out of
bounds for anything other than an interrupt/exception hitting ring1/3 code.

show_registers() unconditionally reads these fields, but the content is
discarded before use.  This is benign right now, as all parts of the stack are
readable, including the guard pages.

However, read_registers() in the #DF handler writes to these fields as part of
preparing the state dump, and being IST, hits the adjacent stack frame.

This has been broken forever, but c/s 6001660473 "x86/shstk: Rework the stack
layout to support shadow stacks" repositioned the #DF stack to be adjacent to
the guard page, which turns this OoB write into a fatal pagefault:

and rendering the main #DF analysis broken.

The proper fix is to delete cpu_user_regs.es and later, so no
interrupt/exception path can access OoB, but this needs disentangling from the
PV ABI first.
