Subject: [PATCH V4 1/2] x86/msr: expose msr_flip_bit function

From: Kan Liang <Kan.liang@...el.com>

There is no exported kernel interfaces which can flip a MSR bit. It has
to do read-modify-write operation on the MSR through rd/wrmsr*
interfaces. But the method is not atomic.

There is already __flip_bit support. Just rename and expose it.
