x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries 



Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86.  On i386,
this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to
be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up
only half the space.

In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel
code addresses is limited.

Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when
the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL
pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC
architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just
below +2G to indicate these special entries.  The reach is still
limited to a single instruction.
