[FREELDR] Fix an inconsistency bug when switching the CPU state back to 16-bit real mode.

Browse source 
Basically it appeared that without this fix, the CPU was somehow residing
in an inconsistent state, that made it crash when a full 16-bit real-mode
to 32-bit protected mode transition occurred. (Encountered when trying
to load Linux, see problem description below.)
In that situation, Bochs reports that the CPU is in "compatibility mode".

The fix is based from information from Fig.1-6 "Operating Modes of the
AMD64 Architecture" (page 12) and Chapter 14 (pages 429-446) of the
"AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2: System Programming"
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/24593.pdf

*** THE PROBLEM ***

When booting Linux using x86 FreeLdr everything goes well.

When trying to do the same using x64 FreeLdr, the Linux code (both the
boot sector, the setup sector and the main kernel contents) is all
correctly loaded and relocated in memory as in the x86 case. We then pass
control to the decompressing code that appears to succeed. However, once
it has finished and "Parsing ELF file..." step has been run, the next
step "Booting the kernel..." crashes with a CPU Triple-Fault.

This problem **DOES NOT HAPPEN** when booting from GRUB.

Log excerpt from Bochs:
