 X86_XSTATE_TILEDATA_ID and X86_XSTATE_TILECFG_ID must start from cache
aligned location.
Depending on which previous state gets enabled, size calculation may not be
correct.

How about

 size -= (xstate_comp_offsets[X86_XSTATE_TILEDATA_ID + 1]
              - (xstate_comp_offsets[X86_XSTATE_TILECFG_ID - 1]
                 + xstate_comp_sizes[X86_XSTATE_TILECFG_ID - 1]));
