x86/boot/compressed/64: Switch to __KERNEL_CS after GDT is loaded
When the pre-decompression code loads its first GDT in startup_64(), it is still running on the CS value of the previous GDT. In the case of SEV-ES, this is the EFI GDT but it can be anything depending on what has loaded the kernel (boot loader, container runtime, etc.) To make exception handling work (especially IRET) the CPU needs to switch to a CS value in the current GDT, so jump to __KERNEL_CS after the first GDT is loaded. This is prudent also as a general sanitization of CS to a known good value.
