[PATCH 4/6] x86/entry: Optimize local_db_save() for virt

[Peter Zijlstra]

Because DRn access is 'difficult' with virt; but the DR7 read is
cheaper than a cacheline miss on native, add a virt specific
fast path to local_db_save(), such that when breakpoints are not in
use we avoid touching DRn entirely.
