x86/vm86/32: Remove VM86_SCREEN_BITMAP support
The implementation was rather buggy. It unconditionally marked PTEs
read-only, even for VM_SHARED mappings. I'm not sure whether this is
actually a problem, but it certainly seems unwise. More importantly, it
released the mmap lock before flushing the TLB, which could allow a racing
CoW operation to falsely believe that the underlying memory was not
writable.
I can't find any users at all of this mechanism, so just remove it.
