x86/traps: Ignore high word of regs->cs in early_idt_handler_common



This is a backport of:
commit fc0e81b2bea0ebceb71889b61d2240856141c9ee upstream

On the 80486 DX, it seems that some exceptions may leave garbage in
the high bits of CS.  This causes sporadic failures in which
early_fixup_exception() refuses to fix up an exception.

As far as I can tell, this has been buggy for a long time, but the
problem seems to have been exacerbated by commits:

  1e02ce4cccdc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")
  e1bfc11c5a6f ("x86/init: Fix cr4_init_shadow() on CR4-less machines")

This appears to have broken for as long as we've had early
exception handling.

[ This backport should apply to kernels from 3.4 - 4.5. ]

Fixes: 4c5023a3 ("x86-32: Handle exception table entries during early boot")
