Note that this is an omission in r275833. I fixed the wrong gs base for
#ss and #np, but failed to note the lack of required check for iretd
faulting on the way to usermode for #ss.
So this is not a 'security' issue, only the local DoS: kernel excessively
panics instead of delivering trap to userspace.
