kernel/x86_64: Always lfence after swapgs. 

This works around "yet another" Intel CPU bug. AMD is unaffected.
Linux chose to use an altcodepatch for Intel only; FreeBSD did
a bunch of benchmarks and determined the effect this had (if any)
was so far out in the decimal places that just adding it unconditionally
was the easier and simplest solution.

(FreeBSD commit: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/f4038696064b86260)

Fixes #15236.
