On x86_32, modify_ldt() implicitly refreshes the cached DS and ES segments because they are refreshed on return to usermode. On x86_64, they're not refreshed on return to usermode. To improve determinism and match x86_32's behavior, refresh them when we update the LDT. This avoids a situation in which the DS points to a descriptor that is changed but the old cached segment persists until the next reschedule. If this happens, then the user-visible state will change nondeterministically some time after modify_ldt() returns, which is unfortunate.
