Revert "[PATCH] x86-64: Fix up handling of non canonical user RIPs"

This reverts commit c33d4568aca9028a22857f94f5e0850012b6444b.

Andrew Clayton and Hugh Dickins report that it's broken for them and
causes strange page table and slab corruption, and spontaneous reboots.

Let's get it right next time.
