i386: remove NMI deferral by instead making sure selector registers
are always stored/restored correctly despite the potential for an NMI
(and also MCE, with a subsequent patch) to kick in.

The idea is to always check values read from %ds and %es against
__HYPERVISOR_DS, and only store into the current frame (all normal
handlers) or the outer-most one (NMI and MCE) if the value read is
different. That way, any NMI or MCE occurring during frame setup will
store selectors not saved so far on behalf of the interrupted handler,
with that interrupted handler either having managed to read the guest
selector (in which case it can store it regardless of whether NMI/MCE
kicked in between the read and the store) or finding __HYPERVISOR_DS
already in the register, in which case it'll know not to store (as the
nested handler would have done the store).

For the restore portion this makes use of the fact that there's
exactly one such code sequence, and by moving the selector restore
part past all other restores (including all stack pointer adjustments)
the NMI/MCE handlers can safely detect whether any selector would have
been restored already (by range checking EIP) and move EIP back to the
beginning of the selector restore sequence without having to play with
the stack pointer itself or any other gpr.
