We were seeing oops like the following when we did an rmmod on a module:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch
Faulting instruction address: 0x8000000000008010
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

This appears to be due to checking the wrong permission bits in the
instruction_tlb_miss handling if the address that faulted was in vmalloc
space.  We need to look at the supervisor execute (_PAGE_BAP_SX) bit and
not the user bit (_PAGE_BAP_UX/_PAGE_EXEC).

Also removed a branch level since it did not appear to be used.
