Commit eeb89e2bb1ac ("x86/efi: Load fixmap GDT in efi_call_phys_epilog()")
moved loading the fixmap in efi_call_phys_epilog() after load_cr3()
since it was assumed to be more logical.
Turns out this is incorrect: In efi_call_phys_prolog(), we load the gdt
with its physical address, and when we reload the %cr3 in _epilog from
initial_page_table to swapper_pg_dir again the gdt is no longer mapped.
This results in a triple fault if an interrupt occurs after load_cr3()
and before load_fixmap_gdt(0). Calling load_fixmap_gdt(0) first restores
the execution order prior to commit eeb89e2bb1ac and fixes the problem.
