This refactors do_unexpected_base() to clean up some code. It also
fixes the following bugs in test_ptrace_write_gsbase():
- Incorrect printf() format string caused crashes.
- Hardcoded 0x7 for the gs selector was not reliably correct.
It also documents the fact that the test is expected to fail on old
kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
