Subject: [PATCH V3 02/49] x86/entry: Use the correct fence macro after swapgs in kernel CR3

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

The commit c75890700455 ("x86/entry/64: Remove unneeded kernel CR3
switching") removes a CR3 write in the faulting path of load_gs_index.

But the path's FENCE_SWAPGS_USER_ENTRY has no fence operation if PTI
is enabled.  Rahter, it depends on the CR3 write of SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3.
So the path should use FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL_ENTRY if SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3
is removed.

Fixes: c75890700455 ("x86/entry/64: Remove unneeded kernel CR3 switching")
