* [Patch V3] UefiCpuPkg/CpuExceptionHandlerLib: Fix split lock

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2150
V3 changes:
change to mov instruction (non locking instuction) instead
of xchg to simplify design.

V2 changes:
Add xchg 16 bit instructions to handle sgdt and sidt base
63:48 bits and 47:32 bits.
Add comment to explain why xchg 64bit isnt being used

Split lock happens when a locking instruction is used on mis-aligned data
that crosses two cachelines. If close source platform enables Alignment Check
Exception(#AC), They can hit a double fault due to split lock being in
CpuExceptionHandlerLib.

sigt and sgdt saves 10 bytes to memory, 8 bytes is base and 2 bytes is limit.
The data is mis-aligned, can cross two cacheline, and a xchg
instruction(locking instuction) is being utilize.

I think something's wrong -- the v3 update described above isn't
actually implemented in the patch (it continues using XCHG, rather than
MOV).

Thanks
