Add X86_CR4_FRED macro for the FRED bit in %cr4. This bit must not be
changed after initialization, so add it to the pinned CR4 bits.

Changes since v9:
* Avoid a type cast by defining X86_CR4_FRED as 0 on 32-bit (Thomas
Gleixner).

nit: s/BITUL/BITULL I guess if __x86_64__ is defined then we are guaranteed that unsigned long will be a 64 bit, but for the sake of clarity I'd rather have this spelled out explicitly by using BITULL
