We need get guest's SS register via hvm_get_segment_register()
to do the SMAP checking, however, in these two cases, we cannot
do it that way since it is between setting 'current' and reloading
the VMCS context for it. As an alternative, here we treat these
accesses as implicit supervisor mode access, hence SMAP checking is
always need.

  x86/hvm: Always do SMAP check when updating runstate_guest(v)
  x86/hvm: Always do SMAP check when updating secondary system time for
    guest
