[PATCH v3 2/3] x86: tss: Eliminate fragile calculation of TSS segment limit

[Josh Triplett]

__set_tss_desc has a complex calculation of the TSS segment limit,
duplicating the quirky details of the I/O bitmap array length, and
requiring a complex comment to explain.  Replace that calculation with a
simpler one based on the offsetof the "stack" field that follows the
array.

That then removes the last use of IO_BITMAP_OFFSET, so delete it.
