x86/asm/32: Make pt_regs's segment registers be 16 bits
Many 32-bit x86 CPUs do 16-bit writes when storing segment registers to
memory. This can cause the high word of regs->[cdefgs]s to
occasionally contain garbage.
Rather than making the entry code more complicated to fix up the
garbage, just change pt_regs to reflect reality.
