H. Peter Anvin 7ce5a2b9bb x86-64: Clear a 64-bit FS/GS base on fork if selector is nonzero 
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().
