[PATCH] i386 / desc_empty macro is incorrect

Chuck Ebbert noticed that the desc_empty macro is incorrect.  Fix it.

Thankfully, this is not used as a security check, but it can falsely
overwrite TLS segments with carefully chosen base / limits.  I do not
believe this is an issue in practice, but it is a kernel bug.
