Recently KVM's SVM code switched to re-injecting software interrupt events,

Task switch due to task gate in the IDT, however is an exception
to this rule, because in this case, INTn instruction causes
a task switch intercept and its emulation completes the INTn
emulation as well.

Add a missing case to task_switch_interception for that.

This fixes 32 bit kvm unit test taskswitch2.

That's a good catch, your patch looks totally sensible to me.
People running Win 3.x or OS/2 on top of KVM will surely be grateful for it :)
