x86/cpu: Remove CONFIG_X86_SMAP and "nosmap"
Those were added as part of the SMAP enablement but SMAP is currently an integral part of kernel proper and there's no need to disable it anymore. Rip out that functionality. Leave --uaccess default on for objtool as this is what objtool should do by default anyway. If still needed - clearcpuid=smap.
