Kernel: Don't access directory table of uninitialized PageDirectory

Browse source 
PageDirectory gets initialized step-by-step in
PageDirectory::try_create_for_userspace(). This initialization may fail
anywhere in this function - for example, we may not be able to
allocate a directory table, in which case
PageDirectory::try_create_for_userspace() will return a null pointer.
We recognize this condition and early-return ENOMEM. However, at this
point, we need to correctly destruct the only partially initialized
PageDirectory. Previously, PageDirectory::~PageDirectory() would assume
that the object it was destructing was always fully initialized. It now
uses the new helper PageDirectory::is_cr3_initialized() to correctly
recognize when the directory table was not yet initialized. This helper
checks if the pointer to the directory table is null. Only if it is not
null does the destructor try to fetch the directory table using
PageDirectory::cr3().
