x86/mm: Switch from TASK_SIZE to TASK_SIZE_MAX in the page fault code

x86's page fault handlers had two TASK_SIZE uses that should have
been TASK_SIZE_MAX.  I don't think that either one had a visible
effect, but this makes the code clearer and should save a few bytes
of text.

(And I eventually want to eradicate TASK_SIZE.  This will help.)
