x86emul: special case far branch validation outside of long mode In that case (with the new value being held in, or now in one case cast to, a 32-bit variable) there's no need to go through the long mode part of the checks. Primarily this was meant to hopefully address Coverity ID 1355278, but since the change produces smaller code as well I think we should use it even if it doesn't help that (benign) warning. Also it's more in line with jmp_rel() for commit_far_branch() to do the _regs.eip update, so adjust that at once.
