x86, 64-bit: swapgs pvop with a user-stack can never be called

Browse Source 
It's never safe to call a swapgs pvop when the user stack is current -
it must be inline replaced.  Rather than making a call, the
SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK pvop always just puts "swapgs" as a placeholder,
which must either be replaced inline or trap'n'emulated (somehow).
