Removes open and close fileops from msr_batch.

This was copy/paste code from the msr_safe device that's not useful for the batch device.

The X86_FEATURE_MSR is only used in two places in the kernel source: msr.c and arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h. The latter states

Define minimum CPUID feature set for kernel These bits are checked
   really early to actually display a visible error message before the
   kernel dies.

No need to be checking it here (or in msr-entry, for that matter).

Fixes #118 #117
