x86: remove last user of get_segment_eip
is_prefetch was the last user of get_segment_eip and only on
X86_32. This function returned the faulting instruction's
address and set the upper segment limit.
Instead, use the convert_ip_to_linear helper and rely on
probe_kernel_address to do the segment checks which was
already done everywhere the segment limit was being checked
on X86_32.
Remove get_segment_eip as well.
