This fixes a regression encountered while running the
gdb.base/corefile.exp test in GDB's test suite.
In my testing, the typo prevented the sw_reserved field of struct
fxregs_state from being output to the kernel XSAVES area. Thus the
correct mask corresponding to XCR0 was not present in the core file for
GDB to interrogate, resulting in the following behavior:
[kev@f32-1 gdb]$ ./gdb -q testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/corefile testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/corefile.core
Reading symbols from testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/corefile...
[New LWP 232880]
warning: Unexpected size of section `.reg-xstate/232880' in core file.
With the typo fixed, the test works again as expected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
