[PATCH v4] x86/fsgsbase/64: Fix the base write helper functions

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Wed Nov 14 2018 - 16:46:45 EST

The helper functions that purport to write the base should just write it
only. It shouldn't have magic optimizations to change the index.

Make the index explicitly changed from the caller, instead of including
the code in the helpers.

Subsequently, the task write helpers do not handle for the current task
anymore. The range check for a base value is also factored out, to
minimize code redundancy from the caller.

v2: Fix further on the task write functions. Revert the changes on the
task read helpers.

v3: Fix putreg(). Edit the changelog.

v4: Update the task write helper functions and do_arch_prctl_64(). Fix
the comment in putreg().
