The boot_{rdmsr,wrmsr}() helpers are *just* the barebones MSR access
functionality, without any tracing or exception handling glue as it is done in
kernel proper.
Move these helpers to asm/shared/msr.h and rename to raw_{rdmsr,wrmsr}() to
indicate what they are.
[ bp: Correct the reason why those helpers exist. I should've caught that in
the original patch that added them:
176db62257 ("x86/boot: Introduce helpers for MSR reads/writes"
but oh well...

The current set of helpers used throughout the run-time kernel have
dependencies on code/facilities outside of the boot kernel, so there
are a number of call-sites throughout the boot kernel where inline
assembly is used instead. More will be added with subsequent patches
that add support for SEV-SNP, so take the opportunity to provide a basic
set of helpers that can be used by the boot kernel to reduce reliance on
inline assembly.
Use boot_* prefix so that it's clear these are helpers specific to the
boot kernel to avoid any confusion with the various other MSR read/write
helpers.
[ bp: Disambiguate parameter names and trim comment. ]
