WRMSRNS is an instruction that behaves exactly like WRMSR, with
the only difference being that it is not a serializing instruction
by default. Under certain conditions, WRMSRNS may replace WRMSR to
improve performance.
Add its CPU feature bit, opcode to the x86 opcode map, and an
always inline API __wrmsrns() to embed WRMSRNS into the code.

Changes since v12:
* Merge the 3 WRMSRNS patches into one (Borislav Petkov).
* s/cpu/CPU/g (Borislav Petkov).
* Shorten the WRMSRNS description (Borislav Petkov).
