[PATCH v3 11/22] x86/fsgsbase: Make gskern accesses safe under FRED



Under FRED, the SWAPGS instructions is disallowed.  Therefore we must use the
MSR path instead.

read_registers() is in the show_registers() path, so this allows Xen to render
it's current state without suffering #UD (and recursing until the stack guard
page is hit).

All hardware with FRED is expected to have some kind of non-serialising access
to these registers.

v2:
 * Broken out of subsequent patch.  Rebased over MSR cleanup.
