Commit ef5a7b5eb13e ("efi/x86: Remove GDT setup from efi_main")
introduced GDT setup into startup_32, and reloads the GDTR after
relocating the kernel for paranoia's sake.

The GDTR is adjusted by init_size - _end, however this may not be the
correct offset to apply if the kernel was loaded at a misaligned address
or below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, as in that case the decompression buffer
has an additional offset from the original load address.

This should never happen for a conformant bootloader, but we're being
paranoid anyway, so just store the new GDT address in there instead of
adding any offsets, which is simpler as well.
