[PATCH] i386 / desc_empty macro is incorrect
Chuck Ebbert noticed that the desc_empty macro is incorrect. Fix it.
Thankfully, this is not used as a security check, but it can falsely
overwrite TLS segments with carefully chosen base / limits. I do not
believe this is an issue in practice, but it is a kernel bug.
