x86_64 restores system call MSRs in fix_processor_context(), and x86_32 restored them along with segment registers. The 64-bit variant makes more sense, so move the 32-bit code to match the 64-bit code.
No side effects are expected to runtime behavior.
Again, this is cleanup, not a bugfix.
Indeed, these two are just preparatory patches rather than fixes. Patches that come later need these.
