kernel/amd64: Handle the user GS segment register

This commit introduces usage of swapgs to switch out the GS register
with the user GS register. An md_td_kick() function is also introduced
to start up user threads. The this_cpu() function uses the GS register
to read the current CPU structure using a new "self" field.
