selftests/x86: Add tests for User-Mode Instruction Prevention

commit 9390afebe1d3f5a0be18b1afdd0ce09d67cebf9e upstream.

Certain user space programs that run on virtual-8086 mode may utilize
instructions protected by the User-Mode Instruction Prevention (UMIP)
security feature present in new Intel processors: SGDT, SIDT and SMSW. In
such a case, a general protection fault is issued if UMIP is enabled. When
such a fault happens, the kernel traps it and emulates the results of
these instructions with dummy values. The purpose of this new
test is to verify whether the impacted instructions can be executed
without causing such #GP. If no #GP exceptions occur, we expect to exit
virtual-8086 mode from INT3.

The instructions protected by UMIP are executed in representative use
cases:

 a) displacement-only memory addressing
 b) register-indirect memory addressing
 c) results stored directly in operands

Unfortunately, it is not possible to check the results against a set of
expected values because no emulation will occur in systems that do not
have the UMIP feature. Instead, results are printed for verification. A
simple verification is done to ensure that results of all tests are
identical.
