x86: mpx: Give bndX registers actual names

Consider the bndX MPX registers.  There 4 registers each
containing a 64-bit lower and a 64-bit upper bound.  That's 8*64
bits and we declare it thusly:

	struct bndregs_struct {
		u64 bndregs[8];
	}
    
Let's say you want to read the upper bound from the MPX register
bnd2 out of the xsave buf.  You do:

	bndregno = 2;
	upper_bound = xsave_buf->bndregs.bndregs[2*bndregno+1];

That kinda sucks.  Every time you access it, you need to know:
1. Each bndX register is two entries wide in "bndregs"
2. The lower comes first followed by upper.  We do the +1 to get
   upper vs. lower.

This replaces the old definition.  You can now access them
indexed by the register number directly, and with a meaningful
name for the lower and upper bound:

	bndregno = 2;
	xsave_buf->bndreg[bndregno].upper_bound;

It's now *VERY* clear that there are 4 registers.  The programmer
now doesn't have to care what order the lower and upper bounds
are in, and it's harder to get it wrong.

[ tglx: Changed ub/lb to upper_bound/lower_bound and renamed struct
bndreg_struct to struct bndreg ]
