xen/pvh: Load GDT/GS in early PV bootup code for BSP.
During early bootup we start life using the Xen provided GDT, which means that we are running with %cs segment set to FLAT_KERNEL_CS (FLAT_RING3_CS64 0xe033, GDT index 261). But for PVH we want to be use HVM type mechanism for segment operations. As such we need to switch to the HVM one and also reload ourselves with the __KERNEL_CS:eip to run in the proper GDT and segment. For HVM this is usually done in 'secondary_startup_64' in (head_64.S) but since we are not taking that bootup path (we start in PV - xen_start_kernel) we need to do that in the early PV bootup paths. For good measure we also zero out the %fs, %ds, and %es (not strictly needed as Xen has already cleared them for us). The %gs is loaded by 'switch_to_new_gdt'.
