Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/fsgsbase/64: Fix the base write helper functions

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

Make the index explicitly changed from the caller, instead of including
the code in the helpers.

v2: Fix further on the task write functions. Revert the changes on the
task read helpers.

v3: Fix putreg(). Edit the changelog.
