Subject: [PATCH 3.17 04/73] x86_64, switch_to(): Load TLS descriptors before switching DS and ES

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

commit f647d7c155f069c1a068030255c300663516420e upstream.

Otherwise, if buggy user code points DS or ES into the TLS
array, they would be corrupted after a context switch.

This also significantly improves the comments and documents some
gotchas in the code.

Before this patch, the both tests below failed.  With this
patch, the es test passes, although the gsbase test still fails.
