Commit 3c73b81a9164 ("x86/entry, selftests: Further improve user entry sanity checks") added a warning if AC is set when in the kernel.
Commit 662a0221893a3d ("x86/entry: Fix AC assertion") changed the warning to only fire if the CPU supports SMAP.
However, the warning can still trigger on a machine that supports SMAP but where it's disabled in the kernel config:

We could add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_SMAP) to the warning condition, but even this would not be enough in case SMAP is disabled at boot time with the "nosmap" parameter.
To be consistent with "nosmap" behaviour, let's clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when !CONFIG_X86_SMAP.
I'm not sure if we should clear X86_CR4_SMAP when !CONFIG_X86_SMAP -- that's what the code currently does, so I've preserved that behaviour, even though it seems a bit odd.
Found using entry-fuzz + satrandconfig.
