The FSGSBASE series turned out to have serious bugs and there is still an
open issue which is not fully understood yet.
The confidence in those changes has become close to zero especially as the
test cases which have been shipped with that series were obviously never
run before sending the final series out to LKML.

As the merge window is close, the only sane decision is to revert FSGSBASE
support. The revert is necessary as this branch has been merged into
perf/core already and rebasing all of that a few days before the merge
window is not the most brilliant idea.
I could definitely slap myself for not noticing the test case fail when
merging that series, but TBH my expectations weren't that low back
then. Won't happen again.
