Andy Lutomirski 3fb2f4237b x86/tls: Don't validate lm in set_thread_area() after all
It turns out that there's a lurking ABI issue.  GCC, when
compiling this in a 32-bit program:

struct user_desc desc = {
	.entry_number    = idx,
	.base_addr       = base,
	.limit           = 0xfffff,
	.seg_32bit       = 1,
	.contents        = 0, /* Data, grow-up */
	.read_exec_only  = 0,
	.limit_in_pages  = 1,
	.seg_not_present = 0,
	.useable         = 0,
};

will leave .lm uninitialized.  This means that anything in the
kernel that reads user_desc.lm for 32-bit tasks is unreliable.

Revert the .lm check in set_thread_area().  The value never did
anything in the first place.
