Subject: [PATCH v5 23/34] x86/fred: update MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 during task switch

From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@...or.com>

MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 is used during ring 3 event delivery, and needs to
be updated to point to the top of next task stack during task switch.

Update MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 with WRMSR instruction for now, and will use
WRMSRNS/WRMSRLIST for performance once it gets upstreamed.
