Subject: [194/197] KVM: x86: Fix TSS size check for 16-bit tasks

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@...mens.com>

(Cherry-picked from commit e8861cfe2c75bdce36655b64d7ce02c2b31b604d)

A 16-bit TSS is only 44 bytes long. So make sure to test for the correct
size on task switch.
