Fix a bug introduced in my earlier fault information pollution
prevention patch. That patch assumed that no kernel fault information
should ever be put in thread.error_code and .trap_no. It turns out
that die() reads those fields, so fatal kernel faults, as well as
userspace faults, need those fields set. The case where they aren't
set is kernelspace faults which are fixed up.
Thanks to Jan Beulich for his review and spotting this bug.
