[PATCH v4 0/7] x86: infrastructure to enable FSGSBASE

[Chang S. Bae]

Given feedbacks from [1], it was suggested to separate two parts
and to (re-)submit this patchset first.

To facilitate FSGSBASE, helper functions and refactoring work
are incorporated. Also, it includes Andy's fix for accurate
FS/GS base read and cleanup for the vDSO initialization.

Changes from V3 [4]:
* Unify CPU number initialization
* Rebase on 4.18-rc1

Changes from V2 [3]:
* Bisect the CPU number initialization patch
* Drop patches for introducing i386 CPU_NUMBER and switching
write_rdtscp_aux() to use wrmsr_safe()

Changes from V1 [2]:
* Rename the x86-64 CPU_NUMBER segment from PER_CPU
* Add i386 CPU_NUMBER equivalent to x86-64 at GDT entry 23
* Add additional helper function to store CPU number
* Switch write_rdtscp_aux() to use wrmsr_safe()
