Tejun Heo d9a89a26e0 x86: add %gs accessors for x86_32
Impact: cleanup

On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily.  It's not saved and restored on
kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task
switch but there are few other places.  Currently, it's done by
calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly.  Define
get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.

While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c.

This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes.
