x86/mpx: Fix instruction decoder condition
commit 8e8efe0379bd93e8219ca0fc6fa80b5dd85b09cb upstream. MPX decodes instructions in order to tell which bounds register was violated. Part of this decoding involves looking at the "REX prefix" which is a special instrucion prefix used to retrofit support for new registers in to old instructions. The X86_REX_*() macros are defined to return actual bit values: #define X86_REX_R(rex) ((rex) & 4) *not* boolean values. However, the MPX code was checking for them like they were booleans. This might have led to us mis-decoding the "REX prefix" and giving false information out to userspace about bounds violations. X86_REX_B() actually is bit 1, so this is really only broken for the X86_REX_X() case. Fix the conditionals up to tolerate the non-boolean values.
