x86/entry: Set FRED RSP0 on return to userspace instead of context switch
The FRED RSP0 MSR points to the top of the kernel stack for user level
event delivery. As this is the task stack it needs to be updated when a
task is scheduled in.
The update is done at context switch. That means it's also done when
switching to kernel threads, which is pointless as those never go out to
user space. For KVM threads this means there are two writes to FRED_RSP0 as
KVM has to switch to the guest value before VMENTER.
Defer the update to the exit to user space path and cache the per CPU
FRED_RSP0 value, so redundant writes can be avoided.
Provide fred_sync_rsp0() for KVM to keep the cache in sync with the actual
MSR value after returning from guest to host mode.
