Subject: [PATCH] [x86, msr]: execute on the correct CPU subset

rdmsr_on_cpus/wrmsr_on_cpus were erroneously executing on the current
CPU even in the case where it wasn't in the supplied bitmask. Add a
check for that and handle accordingly.

While at it, since rdmsr_on_cpus and wrmsr_on_cpus are almost identical,
fold them call into a common __rwmsr_on_cpus helper passing a function
pointer arg to the actual MSR operation.
