x86/xen/64: Fix the reported SS and CS in SYSCALL
When I cleaned up the Xen SYSCALL entries, I inadvertently changed the reported segment registers. Before my patch, regs->ss was __USER(32)_DS and regs->cs was __USER(32)_CS. After the patch, they are FLAT_USER_CS/DS(32). This had a couple unfortunate effects. It confused the opportunistic fast return logic. It also significantly increased the risk of triggering a nasty glibc bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21269 Update the Xen entry code to change it back.
