KVM: When switching to a vm8086 task, load segments as 16-bit
According to 16.2.5 in the SDM, eflags.vm in the tss is consulted before loading
and new segments. If eflags.vm == 1, then the segments are treated as 16-bit
segments. The LDTR and TR are not normally available in vm86 mode so if they
happen to somehow get loaded, they need to be treated as 32-bit segments.
This fixes an invalid vmentry failure in a custom OS that was happening after
a task switch into vm8086 mode. Since the segments were being mistakenly
treated as 32-bit, we loaded garbage state.
