With commit bf5835bcdb963 ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle"),
enabling wrmsr trace with CONFIG_LOCKDEP causes "suspicious
rcu_dereference_check() usage" warning because do_trace_write_msr does not
use trace_write_msr_rcuidle.

Change intel_idle_ibrs to use native_wrmsr to avoid tracing

Sample warning:
============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
6.0.0-dbg-DEV #7 Tainted: G S         O
-----------------------------
arch/x86/include/asm/msr-trace.h:48 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/59/0.

stack backtrace:
CPU: 59 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/59 Tainted: G S         O       6.0.0-dbg-DEV #7
Call Trace:
 dump_stack_lvl

 lockdep_rcu_suspicious
 trace_write_msr
 do_trace_write_msr
 intel_idle_ibrs
 cpuidle_enter_state

 do_idle
 cpu_startup_entry
 start_secondary
 secondary_startup_64_no_verify

Tested on skylake using:
echo "msr:write_msr" >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
with and without patch.
