x86/vmx: correctly gather gs_shadow value for current vCPU

Currently the gs_shadow value is only cached when the vCPU is being scheduled
out by Xen. Reporting this (usually) stale value through vm_event is incorrect,
since it doesn't represent the actual state of the vCPU at the time the event
was recorded. This prevents vm_event subscribers from correctly finding kernel
structures in the guest when it is trapped while in ring3.

Refresh shadow_gs value when the context being saved is for the current vCPU.
