In my revamp of the x86 ptrace code for setting register values,
I accidentally omitted a check that was there in the old code.
Allowing %cs to be 0 causes a bad crash in recovery from iret failure.
This patch fixes that regression against 2.6.24, and adds a comment
that should help prevent this subtlety from being overlooked again.
