KVM: Fix fs/gs reload oops with invalid ldt

kvm reloads the host's fs and gs blindly, however the underlying segment
descriptors may be invalid due to the user modifying the ldt after loading
them.

Fix by using the safe accessors (loadsegment() and load_gs_index()) instead
of home grown unsafe versions.

This is CVE-2010-3698.
