x86/gdt: Use bitfields for initialization



The GDT entry related code uses two ways to access entries via
union fields:

 - bitfields

 - macros which initialize the two 16-bit parts of the entry
   by magic shift and mask operations.

Clean it up and only use the bitfields to initialize and access entries.

( The old access patterns were partly done due to GCC optimizing bitfield
  accesses in a horrible way - that's mostly fixed these days and clarity
  of code in such low level accessors is very important. )
