Subject: [patch V5 02/38] x86/entry/64: Use native swapgs in
 asm_native_load_gs_index()

When PARAVIRT_XXL is in use, then load_gs_index() uses
xen_load_gs_index() and (asm_))native_load_gs_index() is unused.

It's therefore pointless to use the paravirtualized SWAPGS implementation
in asm_native_load_gs_index(). Switch it to a plain swapgs.
