Fix show_fault_oops() to not only look at the leaf PTE for detecting
NX violations, but to use the effective NX value returned by
lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() instead.

x86/mm: Use lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() in show_fault_oops()

Fix show_fault_oops() to not only look at the leaf PTE for detecting
NX violations, but to use the effective NX value returned by
lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() instead.
