[PATCH 4/9] x86, perf: Explicitly optimize vm86 handling in code_segment_base

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Mar 18 2015 - 21:35:54 EST


There's no point in checking the VM bit on 64-bit, and, since we're
explicitly checking it, we can use user_mode_ignore_vm86 after the
check.

While we're at it, rearrange the ifdef slightly to make the code
flow a bit clearer.
