Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A pile of x86 fixes:
- Prevent a memory leak in ioperm which was caused by the stupid
assumption that the exit cleanup is always called for current,
which is not the case when fork fails after taking a reference on
the ioperm bitmap.
- Fix an arithmething overflow in the DMA code on 32bit systems
- Fill gaps in the xstate copy with defaults instead of leaving them
uninitialized
- Revert: "Make __X32_SYSCALL_BIT be unsigned long" as it turned out
that existing user space fails to build"

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.
