Pull x86 FRED updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() because at that point the
   early IDT fault handler is replaced by the real fault handler. The
   real fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the stack
   frame and not from CR2 when the FRED feature is set. But that
   obviously only works when FRED is enabled in the CPU as well.

 - Set SS to __KERNEL_DS when enabling FRED to prevent a corner case
   where ERETS can observe a SS mismatch and raises a #GP.
