x86_32: remove __PAGE_KERNEL(_EXEC)

Browse Source 
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must
only use it if the processor supports it.

The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically
we always want it set.

This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all
_PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned
into a real in-pagetable pte.  On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask
is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if
the CPU is found to support it.

The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this
purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.
