Resending the patchset that was posted before [6].

Given feedbacks from [1], it was suggested to separate two parts
and to (re-)submit this patchset first.

To facilitate FSGSBASE, Andy's FS/GS base read fix is first
ordered, then some helper functions and refactoring work
are included. Cleanup for the vDSO initialization is
for preparing per-CPU base finder that will be used in the
paranoid entry, when FSGSBASE enabled.

Changes from V4 [5]:
* Change patch ordering; putting the fix first before introducing
the helper functions
* Cleanup further for vDSO CPU initialization codes

Changes from V3 [4]:
* Unify CPU number initialization

Changes from V2 [3]:
* Bisect the CPU number initialization patch
* Drop patches for introducing i386 CPU_NUMBER and switching
write_rdtscp_aux() to use wrmsr_safe()

Changes from V1 [2]:
* Rename the x86-64 CPU_NUMBER segment from PER_CPU
* Add i386 CPU_NUMBER equivalent to x86-64 at GDT entry 23
* Add additional helper function to store CPU number
* Switch write_rdtscp_aux() to use wrmsr_safe()
