Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] x86/mm: Cleanup prctl_enable_tagged_addr() nr_bits
 error checking

There are two separate checks in prctl_enable_tagged_addr() that nr_bits
is in the correct range. The checks are arranged such the correct case
is sandwiched between both error cases, which do exactly the same thing.

Simplify the if condition and pull the correct case outside with the
rest of the success code path.
