x86/msr: Convert __wrmsr() uses to native_wrmsr{,q}() uses
__wrmsr() is the lowest level MSR write API, with native_wrmsr()
and native_wrmsrq() serving as higher-level wrappers around it:
#define native_wrmsr(msr, low, high) \
__wrmsr(msr, low, high)
#define native_wrmsrl(msr, val) \
__wrmsr((msr), (u32)((u64)(val)), \
(u32)((u64)(val) >> 32))
However, __wrmsr() continues to be utilized in various locations.
MSR APIs are designed for different scenarios, such as native or
pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe. Unfortunately,
the current MSR API names do not adequately reflect these factors,
making it challenging to select the most appropriate API for
various situations.
To pave the way for improving MSR API names, convert __wrmsr()
uses to native_wrmsr{,q}() to ensure consistent usage. Later,
these APIs can be renamed to better reflect their implications,
such as native or pvops, with or without trace, and safe or
non-safe.
No functional change intended.
