Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny,
which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs.
The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52d0
made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for
tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it
can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.

This cleans up the TLS code to use struct desc_struct and to separate the
encoding and installation magic from the interface wrappers.

This patch makes get_desc_base() receive a struct desc_struct,
and then uses its internal fields to compute the base address.
This is done at both i386 and x86_64, and then it is moved
to common header

This patch introduces fill_ldt(), which populates a ldt descriptor
from a user_desc in once, instead of relying in the LDT_entry_a and
LDT_entry_b macros

This consolidates the four different places that implemented the same
encoding magic for the GDT-slot 32-bit TLS support. The old tls32.c was
renamed and is now only slightly modified to be the shared implementation.

This renames arch/x86/ia32/tls32.c to arch/x86/kernel/tls.c, which does
nothing now but paves the way to consolidate this code for 32-bit too.
