[PATCH] x86/fsgsbase/64: Use TASK_SIZE_MAX for FSBASE/GSBASE upper limits

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Tue May 10 2016 - 12:18:53 EST


The GSBASE upper limit exists to prevent user code from confusing
the paranoid idtentry path. The FSBASE upper limit is just for
consistency. There's no need to enforce a smaller limit for 32-bit
tasks.

Just use TASK_SIZE_MAX. This simplifies the logic and will save a
few bytes of code.
