Subject: [10/18] x86: Restrict MSR access when securelevel is set
Origin: https://github.com/mjg59/linux/commit/c6ad37822699967e60fae57a64ae89676f543182

Permitting write access to MSRs allows userspace to modify the running
kernel. Prevent this if securelevel has been set. Based on a patch by Kees
Cook.
