Hou Wenlong 31c66dabaa KVM: x86/emulator: Fix wrong privilege check for code segment in __load_segment_descriptor()

Code segment descriptor can be loaded by jmp/call/ret, iret
and int. The privilege checks are different between those
instructions above realmode. Although, the emulator has
use x86_transfer_type enumerate to differentiate them, but
it is not really used in __load_segment_descriptor(). Note,
far jump/call to call gate, task gate or task state segment
are not implemented in emulator.

As for far jump/call to code segment, if DPL > CPL for conforming
code or (RPL > CPL or DPL != CPL) for non-conforming code, it
should trigger #GP. The current checks are ok.

As for far return, if RPL < CPL or DPL > RPL for conforming
code or DPL != RPL for non-conforming code, it should trigger #GP.
Outer level return is not implemented above virtual-8086 mode in
emulator. So it implies that RPL <= CPL, but the current checks
wouldn't trigger #GP if RPL < CPL.

As for code segment loading in task switch, if DPL > RPL for conforming
code or DPL != RPL for non-conforming code, it should trigger #TS. Since
segment selector is loaded before segment descriptor when load state from
tss, it implies that RPL = CPL, so the current checks are ok.

The only problem in current implementation is missing RPL < CPL check for
far return. However, change code to follow the manual is better.
