[PATCH 2/2] i386: Use __seg_gs qualifier to cast access to TCB in THREAD_GSCOPE_RESET_FLAG()

Use the __seg_gs named address space qualifier to cast access to the
gscope_flag in the TCB as a %gs: prefixed address.  This enables the
use of the "m" operand constraint, which informs the compiler about
memory access in the inline assembly.
