x86: introduce fill_ldt
This patch introduces fill_ldt(), which populates a ldt descriptor from a user_desc in once, instead of relying in the LDT_entry_a and LDT_entry_b macros Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
