Thomas Gleixner 049331f277 x86/fsgsbase: Revert FSGSBASE support 
The FSGSBASE series turned out to have serious bugs and there is still an
open issue which is not fully understood yet.

The confidence in those changes has become close to zero especially as the
test cases which have been shipped with that series were obviously never
run before sending the final series out to LKML.

  ./fsgsbase_64 >/dev/null
  Segmentation fault

As the merge window is close, the only sane decision is to revert FSGSBASE
support. The revert is necessary as this branch has been merged into
perf/core already and rebasing all of that a few days before the merge
window is not the most brilliant idea.

I could definitely slap myself for not noticing the test case fail when
merging that series, but TBH my expectations weren't that low back
then. Won't happen again.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
