x86/asm/entry/64: Use shorter MOVs from segment registers
The "movw %ds,%cx" instruction needs a 0x66 prefix, while "movl %ds,%ecx" does not. The difference is that latter form (on 64-bit CPUs) overwrites the entire %ecx, not only its lower half. But subsequent code doesn't depend on the value of upper half of %ecx, so we can safely use the shorter instruction. The new code is also faster than the old one - now we don't depend on the old value of %ecx, but this code fragment is not performance-critical so it does not matter much.
