x86/stackframe/32: Repair 32-bit Xen PV

Once again RPL checks have been introduced which don't account for a
32-bit kernel living in ring 1 when running in a PV Xen domain. The
case in FIXUP_FRAME has been preventing boot. Adjust BUG_IF_WRONG_CR3
as well to guard against future uses of the macro on a code path
reachable when running in PV mode under Xen; I have to admit that I
stopped at a certain point trying to figure out whether there are
present ones.
