Subject: [PATCH v4] x86/umip: Add emulation/spoofing for SLDT and STR instructions

Add emulation/spoofing of SLDT and STR for both 32- and 64-bit
processes.

Wine users have found a small number of Windows apps using SLDT that
were crashing when run on UMIP-enabled systems.

v4: Use braces for every clause of the conditional. I tried a switch(),
but it takes more lines and looks more cluttered (especially with the
#ifdef).
Also replace out-of-date comment at top of file.

Probably for consistency with the rest of the document the instruction
names should be capitalized (I know that smsw was not capitalized before
:/). Maybe maintainers can fix this when applying?

Other than that, FWIW:

A bit late but I was able to test my workload with the above patch
applied on 5.7.2.
