x86/gsseg: Make asm_load_gs_index() take an u16

Browse Source 
Let GCC know that only the low 16 bits of load_gs_index() argument
actually matter. It might allow it to create slightly better
code. However, do not propagate this into the prototypes of functions
that end up being paravirtualized, to avoid unnecessary changes.
