x86/msr: Switch between WRMSRNS and WRMSR with the alternatives mechanism
Per the discussion about FRED MSR writes with WRMSRNS instruction [1],
use the alternatives mechanism to choose WRMSRNS when it's available,
otherwise fallback to WRMSR.
Remove the dependency on X86_FEATURE_WRMSRNS as WRMSRNS is no longer
dependent on FRED.

Use DS prefix to pad WRMSR instead of a NOP. The prefix is ignored. At
least that's the current information from the hardware folks.
