x86/arch_prctl: Fix ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and gsbase respectively from saved thread state. This was wrong: fsbase and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in memory. For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were different. Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out what the point of the difference was. Change it to simply read the MSRs. The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different story.
