Subject: [PATCH] x86/fsgsbase/64: Fix the base write helper functions

Factor out the code to change index from x86_fsbase_write_cpu() and
x86_gsbase_write_cpu_inactive(). Now the code is located in
do_arch_prctl_64().

The helper functions that purport to write the base register should just
write the base register only. It shouldn't have magic optimizations to
change the index.

putreg() in ptrace does not write the current task, but a stopped task.
