x86/vsyscall/64: Explicitly set _PAGE_USER in the pagetable hierarchy
The kernel is very erratic as to which pagetables have _PAGE_USER set. The vsyscall page gets lucky: it seems that all of the relevant pagetables are among the apparently arbitrary ones that set _PAGE_USER. Rather than relying on chance, just explicitly set _PAGE_USER. This will let us clean up pagetable setup to stop setting _PAGE_USER. The added code can also be reused by pagetable isolation to manage the _PAGE_USER bit in the usermode tables.
