__rdmsr() is the lowest-level primitive MSR read API, implemented in
assembly code and returning an MSR value in a u64 integer, on top of
which a convenience wrapper native_rdmsr() is defined to return an MSR
value in two u32 integers.  For some reason, native_rdmsrq() is not
defined and __rdmsr() is directly used when it needs to return an MSR
value in a u64 integer.

Add the native_rdmsrq() helper, which is simply an alias of __rdmsr(),
to make native_rdmsr() and native_rdmsrq() a pair of MSR read APIs.

Change in v2:
* Split into two changes and add the native_rdmsrl() helper in the
  first one with a proper explanation (Ingo).
