So this looks backwards:

if X86_FEATURE_NULL_SEL_CLR_BASE is set, then X86_BUG_NULL_SEG should
not be.

Which means, you'd have to update check_null_seg_clears_base() too.

Which means, you should make the X86_FEATURE_NULL_SEL_CLR_BASE bit
addition a separate patch because this one is clearly doing too many
things at once.
