Subject: x86/ldt: Correct LDT access in single stepping logic

commit 136d9d83c07c5e30ac49fc83b27e8c4842f108fc upstream.

Commit 37868fe113ff ("x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous")
introduced a new struct ldt_struct anchored at mm->context.ldt.

convert_ip_to_linear() was changed to reflect this, but indexing
into the ldt has to be changed as the pointer is no longer void *.
