    kgdb,i386: Fix corner case access to ss with NMI watch dog exception
    
    It is possible for the user_mode_vm(regs) check to return true on the
    i368 arch for a non master kgdb cpu or when the master kgdb cpu
    handles the NMI watch dog exception.
    
    The solution is simply to select the correct gdb_ss location
    based on the check to user_mode_vm(regs).
