Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot/compressed/64: Do not truncate gdt address

Before going to 32-bit trampoline we need to load GDT to make sure that
we have the table with 32-bit code segment.

The load was implemented incorrectly and the table address is truncated
to 32-bit. It causes problems if gdt is above 4G.
