    x86/mpx: Fix 32-bit address space calculation · f3119b83

    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.
