x86/ldt/64: Refresh DS and ES when modify_ldt changes an entry

Browse Source 
On x86_32, modify_ldt() implicitly refreshes the cached DS and ES
segments because they are refreshed on return to usermode.

On x86_64, they're not refreshed on return to usermode.  To improve
determinism and match x86_32's behavior, refresh them when we update
the LDT.

This avoids a situation in which the DS points to a descriptor that is
changed but the old cached segment persists until the next reschedule.
If this happens, then the user-visible state will change
nondeterministically some time after modify_ldt() returns, which is
unfortunate.
