x86_64 restores system call MSRs in fix_processor_context(), and
x86_32 restored them along with segment registers. The 64-bit
variant makes more sense, so move the 32-bit code to match the
64-bit code.

No side effects are expected to runtime behavior.

Again, this is cleanup, not a bugfix.

Indeed, these two are just preparatory patches rather than fixes.
Patches that come later need these.
