style: eliminate equality tests with true and false

Using '== true' in a boolean expression is totally redundant,
and using '== false' is pretty verbose (and arguably less
readable in most cases) compared to '!'.

It's somewhat of a pet peeve, perhaps, but I had some time
waiting for some tests to run and decided to clean these up.

Unfortunately, SLICC appears not to have the '!' operator,
so I had to leave the '== false' tests in the SLICC code.

config, x86: move kernel specification from tests to FSConfig.py

For some reason, the default x86 kernel is specified in
tests/configs/x86_generic.py and not in configs/common/FSConfig.py,
where the kernels for all the other ISAs are.  This means that
running configs/example/fs.py for x86 fails because no kernel
is specified.  Moving the specification over fixes this problem.

There is another problem that this uncovers, which is that going
past the init stage (i.e., past where the regression test stops)
fails because the fsck test on the disk device fails, but that's
a separate issue.
