[PATCH for v4.9 LTS 71/86] x86/mpx: Use compatible types in comparison to fix sparse error

[Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)]

From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 453828625731d0ba7218242ef6ec88f59408f368 ]

info->si_addr is of type void __user *, so it should be compared against
something from the same address space.

This fixes the following sparse error:

  arch/x86/mm/mpx.c:296:27: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
