[SPARC64]: Loosen checks in exception table handling.

Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose.

See, for example, the code added by changeset
a0c1e907 ("futex: runtime enable pi
and robust functionality").

That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault().

Just remove it for now.  Maybe we can add it back later with an added
conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.
