[RFC PATCH 3/3] x86/mm: cleanup prctl_enable_tagged_addr() nr_bits error checking

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Thu Mar 07 2024 - 08:43:38 EST


In prctl_enable_tagged_addr(), we check that nr_bits is in the correct
range, but we do so in a twisted if/else block where the correct case is
sandwiched between two error cases doing exactly the same thing.

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