amd64: prevents speculations over swapgs reload of %gs base.
Such speculations could use user-controlled %gs base, esp. since
FreeBSD supports WRGSBASE instructions.
Place LFENCEs on entry for each basic block after the test for
previous kernel/user mode on the kernel entry, which prevents the
speculation. Code accesses %gs-based PCPU before any serialization
instructions are executed, like %cr3 reload for KPTI.
With pti disabled, on haswell i7-4770S machine, "syscall_timings getppid"
shows when no lfence is added to syscall path:
