setup_syscalls_segments() calls get_segment() and than overwrites all but one of the structure fields and this one should also be overwritten anyway, so we can drop call to get_segment() and avoid a couple of vmreads on vmx. Also drop zeroing ss/cs structures since most of the fields are set anyway. Just set those that were not set explicitly.
