x86/boot/compressed: Fix reloading of GDTR post-relocation
The following commit:
ef5a7b5eb13e ("efi/x86: Remove GDT setup from efi_main")
introduced GDT setup into the 32-bit kernel's startup_32, and reloads
the GDTR after relocating the kernel for paranoia's sake.
A followup commit:
32d009137a56 ("x86/boot: Reload GDTR after copying to the end of the buffer")
introduced a similar GDTR reload in the 64-bit kernel as well.
The GDTR is adjusted by (init_size-_end), however this may not be the
correct offset to apply if the kernel was loaded at a misaligned address
or below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, as in that case the decompression buffer
has an additional offset from the original load address.
This should never happen for a conformant bootloader, but we're being
paranoid anyway, so just store the new GDT address in there instead of
adding any offsets, which is simpler as well.
