x86/segment: Use MOVL when reading segment registers

Use MOVL when reading segment registers to avoid 0x66 operand-size override
insn prefix. The segment value is always 16-bit and gets zero-extended to the
full 32-bit size.

Example:

  4e4:       66 8c c0                mov    %es,%ax
  4e7:       66 89 83 80 0b 00 00    mov    %ax,0xb80(%rbx)

  4e4:       8c c0                   mov    %es,%eax
  4e6:       66 89 83 80 0b 00 00    mov    %ax,0xb80(%rbx)

Also, use the %k0 modifier which generates the SImode (signed integer)
register name for the target register.
