allow i386 __set_thread_area to be called more than once
previously a new GDT slot was requested, even if one had already been obtained by a previous call. instead extract the old slot number from GS and reuse it if it was already set. the formula (GS-3)/8 for the slot number automatically yields -1 (request for new slot) if GS is zero (unset).
