Subject: [PATCH 5.7 117/244] copy_xstate_to_kernel: Fix typo which caused GDB regression

From: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@...hat.com>

commit 5714ee50bb4375bd586858ad800b1d9772847452 upstream.

This fixes a regression encountered while running the
gdb.base/corefile.exp test in GDB's test suite.

In my testing, the typo prevented the sw_reserved field of struct
fxregs_state from being output to the kernel XSAVES area.  Thus the
correct mask corresponding to XCR0 was not present in the core file for
GDB to interrogate, resulting in the following behavior:

   [kev@...-1 gdb]$ ./gdb -q testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/corefile testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/corefile.core
   Reading symbols from testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/corefile...
   [New LWP 232880]

   warning: Unexpected size of section `.reg-xstate/232880' in core file.

With the typo fixed, the test works again as expected.
