x86, amd: Use _safe() msr access for GartTlbWlk disable code
The workaround for Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012
introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr.
Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor
so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying
this workaround when running inside KVM.
This issue was reported as:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132
and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel
ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the
_safe msr access methods.
