x86/fred: Disallow the swapgs instruction when FRED is enabled

SWAPGS is no longer needed thus NOT allowed with FRED because FRED
transitions ensure that an operating system can _always_ operate
with its own GS base address:

  - For events that occur in ring 3, FRED event delivery swaps the GS
    base address with the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.

  - ERETU (the FRED transition that returns to ring 3) also swaps the
    GS base address with the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.

And the operating system can still setup the GS segment for a user
thread without the need of loading a user thread GS with:

  - Using LKGS, available with FRED, to modify other attributes of the
    GS segment without compromising its ability always to operate with
    its own GS base address.

  - Accessing the GS segment base address for a user thread as before
    using RDMSR or WRMSR on the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR.

Note, LKGS loads the GS base address into the IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR
instead of the GS segment's descriptor cache. As such, the operating
system never changes its runtime GS base address.
