commit 7ce5a2b9bb2e92902230e3121d8c3047fab9cb47 upstream.

When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
corresponding selector is nonzero.  This is taken by __switch_to() as
an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
result in inconsistent results after fork().

Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().
