x86/mm: avoid using linear page tables in guest_get_eff_kern_l1e()

First of all drop guest_get_eff_l1e() entirely - there's no actual user
of it: pv_ro_page_fault() has a guest_kernel_mode() conditional around
its only call site.

Then replace the linear L1 table access by an actual page walk.

This is part of XSA-286.
