Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/entry/32: Fix setup of CS high bits

Even if we are not on an entry stack, we have to initialize the CS high
bits because we are unconditionally evaluating them
PARANOID_EXIT_TO_KERNEL_MODE. Failing to do so broke the boot on Galileo
Gen2 and IOT2000 boards.

Fixes: b92a165df17e ("x86/entry/32: Handle Entry from Kernel-Mode on Entry-Stack")

Changes in v2:
 - adjust comment according to Andy's feedback
 - added Jörg's ack/review (assuming the comment change does not affect it)
