x86/fsgsbase/64: Factor out FS/GS segment loading from __switch_to()

Browse source

Instead of open coding the calls to load_seg_legacy(), introduce
x86_fsgsbase_load() to load FS/GS segments.

This makes it more explicit that this is part of FSGSBASE functionality,
and the new helper can be updated when FSGSBASE instructions are enabled.
