[PATCH] x86: kernel_thread -- initialize SS to a known state

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>]

From: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org>

Before the kernel_thread was converted into "C" we had
pt_regs::ss set to __KERNEL_DS (by SAVE_ALL asm macro).

Though I must admit I didn't find any *explicit* load of
%ss from this structure the better to be on a safe side
and set it to a known value.
