[PATCH] x86: limit the fs segment to the pointer size

The fs segment is only used to get the global data pointer. If it is accessed beyond sizeof(new_gd->arch.gd_addr), it is a bug.
To specify the byte-granule limit size, drop the G bit, so the flag field is 0x8093 instead of 0xc093, and set the limit field to sizeof(new_gd->arch.gd_addr) - 1.

Fixed the comments, and
new_gd->arch.gd_addr = new_gd;
gdt_addr[X86_GDT_ENTRY_32BIT_FS] = GDT_ENTRY(0xc093,
(ulong)&new_gd->arch.gd_addr, 0xfffff);
