x86-64: Clear a 64-bit FS/GS base on fork if selector is nonzero
commit 7ce5a2b9bb2e92902230e3121d8c3047fab9cb47 upstream. When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry. However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can result in inconsistent results after fork(). Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().
