[PATCH] x86, mpx: Ensure unused arguments of prctl() MPX requests are 0

["Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>]

From: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

commit fe8c7f5cbf91124987106faa3bdf0c8b955c4cf7 added two new prctl()
operations, PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT and PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT.
However, no checks were included to ensure that unused arguments
are zero, as is done in many existing prctl()s and as should be 
done for all new prctl()s. This patch adds the required checks.
