Subject: x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pkey exhaustion test off-by-one
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
[ Upstream commit f50b4878329ab61d8e05796f655adeb6f5fb57c6 ]
In our "exhaust all pkeys" test, we make sure that there
is the expected number available. Turns out that the
test did not cover the execute-only key, but discussed
it anyway. It did *not* discuss the test-allocated
key.
Now that we have a test for the mprotect(PROT_EXEC) case,
this off-by-one issue showed itself. Correct the off-by-
one and add the explanation for the case we missed.
