x86: fix information leak on AMD CPUs The fix for XSA-52 was wrong, and so was the change synchronizing that new behavior to the FXRSTOR logic: AMD's manuals explictly state that writes to the ES bit are ignored, and it instead gets calculated from the exception and mask bits (it gets set whenever there is an unmasked exception, and cleared otherwise). Hence we need to follow that model in our workaround. This is XSA-172 / CVE-2016-3158.
