x86: Fix THREAD_SELF definition to avoid ld.so crash (bug 27004)
The previous definition of THREAD_SELF did not tell the compiler
that %fs (or %gs) usage is invalid for the !DL_LOOKUP_GSCOPE_LOCK
case in _dl_lookup_symbol_x.  As a result, ld.so could try to use the
TCB before it was initialized.

As the comment in tls.h explains, asm volatile is undesirable here.
Using the __seg_fs (or __seg_gs) namespace does not interfere with
optimization, and expresses that THREAD_SELF is potentially trapping.
