[PATCH/RFC] Change the program check exception from EXC_XFER_STD to EXC_XFER_EE.

This patch causes interrupts to be enabled in program_check_exception()
if they were enabled in the faulting context. This is required because
do_mathemu() calls get_user(), which can sleep, and thus triggers an
assertion if called with interrupts disabled.

Is there any reason why ProgramCheck needs to be EXC_XFER_STD? Has
nobody ever used math emulation with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP before?
