x86/pv: Fix multiple bugs with SEGBASE_GS_USER_SEL

The logic takes the segment selector unmodified from guest context.  This
allowed the guest to load DPL0 descriptors into %gs.  Fix up the RPL for
non-NUL selectors to be 3.

Xen's context switch logic skips saving the inactive %gs base, as it cannot be
modified by the guest behind Xen's back.  This depends on Xen caching updates
to the inactive base, which is was missing from this path.

The consequence is that, following SEGBASE_GS_USER_SEL, the next context
switch will restore the stale inactive %gs base, and corrupt vcpu state.

Rework the hypercall to update the cached idea of gs_base_user, and fix the
behaviour in the case of the AMD NUL selector bug to always zero the segment
base.
