x86/mpx: Fix 32-bit address space calculation
I received a bug report that running 32-bit MPX binaries on 64-bit kernels was broken. I traced it down to this little code snippet. We were switching our "number of bounds directory entries" calculation correctly. But, we didn't switch the other side of the calculation: the virtual space size. This meant that we were calculating an absurd size for bd_entry_virt_space() on 32-bit because we used the 64-bit virt_space. This was _also_ broken for 32-bit kernels running on 64-bit hardware since boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits=48 even when running in 32-bit mode. Correct that and properly handle all 3 possible cases: 1. 32-bit binary on 64-bit kernel 2. 64-bit binary on 64-bit kernel 3. 32-bit binary on 32-bit kernel This manifested in having bounds tables not properly unmapped. It "leaked" memory but had no functional impact otherwise.
