x86/process/64: Use FSBSBASE in switch_to() if available

Browse Source 
With the new FSGSBASE instructions, FS and GSABSE can be efficiently read
and writen in __switch_to().  Use that capability to preserve the full
state.

This will enable user code to do whatever it wants with the new
instructions without any kernel-induced gotchas.  (There can still be
architectural gotchas: movl %gs,%eax; movl %eax,%gs may change GSBASE if
WRGSBASE was used, but users are expected to read the CPU manual before
doing things like that.)

This is a considerable speedup.  It seems to save about 100 cycles
per context switch compared to the baseline 4.6-rc1 behavior on a
Skylake laptop. This is mostly due to avoiding the WRMSR operation.

[ chang: 5~10% performance improvements were seen with a context switch
  benchmark that ran threads with different FS/GSBASE values (to the
  baseline 4.16). Minor edit on the changelog. ]
