x86: Set FSGSBASE to active if enabled by kernel
Linux kernel uses AT_HWCAP2 to indicate if FSGSBASE instructions are
enabled. If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit in AT_HWCAP2 is set, FSGSBASE
instructions can be used in user space. Define dl_check_hwcap2 to set
the FSGSBASE feature to active on Linux when the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is
set.
Add a test to verify that FSGSBASE is active on current kernels.
NB: This test will fail if the kernel doesn't set the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE
bit in AT_HWCAP2 while fsgsbase shows up in /proc/cpuinfo.
