H. Peter Anvin (Intel) 056c52f5e8 x86/kexec: Set_[gi]dt() -> native_[gi]dt_invalidate() in machine_kexec_*.c ...

These files contain private set_gdt() functions which are only used to
invalid the gdt; machine_kexec_64.c also contains a set_idt()
function to invalidate the idt.

phys_to_virt(0) *really* doesn't make any sense for creating an
invalid GDT. A NULL pointer (virtual 0) makes a lot more sense;
although neither will allow any actual memory reference, a NULL
pointer stands out more.

Replace these calls with native_[gi]dt_invalidate().
