Remove "noreplacement" kernel command line option.
It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on
different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities.
If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the
boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you
need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across
all CPU's.
For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system
do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable
instruction replacement per se.
x86: use alternative instructions for fnsave/fxsave too
This one ends up using an inline asm format that claims to read memory
and then clobber it (rather than just write it directly), which made it
easier to use the existing "alternative_input()" infrastructure support.
x86: make restore_fpu() use alternative assembler instructions
It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
function that queries FXSR dynamically.
This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
correct one at boot-time.
The portptr pointing to the port in the conntrack tuple is declared static,
which could result in memory corruption when two packets of the same
protocol are NATed at the same time and one conntrack goes away.

Fix up incorrect "unlikely()" on %gs reload in x86 __switch_to
These days %gs is normally the TLS segment, so it's no longer zero. As
a result, we shouldn't just assume that %fs/%gs tend to be zero
together, but test them independently instead.
Also, fix setting of debug registers to use the "next" pointer instead
of "current". It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new
current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an
implementation detail.

[NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack_expect_related must not free expectation
If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and
we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they
gave us and return success.
The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the
expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the
packet. If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation,
but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related.
This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the
expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use. Reference counting
is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now.
To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the
connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with
CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call().
On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug,
because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of
mmap2().
Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely
manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host
bug, since it should cause no functional change. Still, you might prefer to
drop it, I'll leave this to you.
