x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in helper functions
Add cpu feature conditional FSGSBASE access to the relevant helper
functions. That allows to accelerate certain FS/GS base operations in
subsequent changes.
Note, that while possible, the user space entry/exit GSBASE operations are
not going to use the new FSGSBASE instructions. The reason is that it would
require additional storage for the user space value which adds more
complexity to the low level code and experiments have shown marginal
benefit. This may be revisited later but for now the SWAPGS based handling
in the entry code is preserved except for the paranoid entry/exit code.
To preserve the SWAPGS entry mechanism introduce __[rd|wr]gsbase_inactive()
helpers. Note, for Xen PV, paravirt hooks can be added later as they might
allow a very efficient but different implementation.
