A single fix for x86 which removes the RDPID usage from the paranoid entry
path and unconditionally uses LSL to retrieve the CPU number. RDPID depends
on MSR_TSX_AUX. KVM has an optmization to avoid expensive MRS read/writes
on VMENTER/EXIT. It caches the MSR values and restores them either when
leaving the run loop, on preemption or when going out to user
space. MSR_TSX_AUX is part of that lazy MSR set, so after writing the guest
value and before the lazy restore any exception using the paranoid entry
will read the guest value and use it as CPU number to retrieve the GSBASE
value for the current CPU when FSGSBASE is enabled. As RDPID is only used
in that particular entry path, there is no reason to burden VMENTER/EXIT
with two extra MSR writes. Remove the RDPID optimization, which is not even
backed by numbers from the paranoid entry path instead.
