    x86/vmx: correctly gather gs_shadow value for current vCPU
    
    Currently the gs_shadow value is only cached when the vCPU is being 
scheduled
    out by Xen. Reporting this (usually) stale value through vm_event is 
incorrect,
    since it doesn't represent the actual state of the vCPU at the time the 
event
    was recorded. This prevents vm_event subscribers from correctly finding 
kernel
    structures in the guest when it is trapped while in ring3.
    
    Refresh shadow_gs value when the context being saved is for the current 
vCPU.
