commit d47cc0db8fd6011de2248df505fc34990b7451bf upstream.

The workaround for Bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012

introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr.

Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor
so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying
this workaround when running inside KVM.

This issue was reported as:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132

and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel
ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the
_safe msr access methods.
