xen64: add pvop for swapgs

swapgs is a no-op under Xen, because the hypervisor makes sure the
right version of %gs is current when switching between user and kernel
modes.  This means that the swapgs "implementation" can be inlined and
used when the stack is unsafe (usermode).  Unfortunately, it means
that disabling patching will result in a non-booting kernel...
