x86/mce: Use safe MSR accesses for AMD quirk

Certain MSRs are only relevant to a kernel in host mode, and kvm had
chosen not to implement these MSRs at all for guests. If a guest kernel
ever tried to access these MSRs, the result was a general protection
fault.

KVM will be separately patched to return 0 when these MSRs are read,
and this patch ensures that MSR accesses are tolerant of exceptions.
