    x86emul: avoid triggering assertions with VME/PVI early #GP check
    
    In commit efe9cba66c ("x86emul: VME and PVI modes require a #GP(0) check
    first thing") I neglected the fact that the retire flags get zapped only
    in x86_decode(), which hasn't been invoked yet at the point of the #GP(0)
    check added. Move output state initialization into a helper function,
    and invoke it from the callers of x86_decode() instead of doing it
    (possibly too late) in that function.
