On a FSGSBASE system, the way to handle GSBASE in the paranoid path is different from the existing SWAPGS-based entry/exit path handling. Document the reason and what has to be done for FSGSBASE enabled systems. [ tglx: Massaged doc and changelog ] Signed-off-by: Chang S.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
