x86/fpu: Allow setting of XSAVE state
We want to modify the Protection Key rights inside the kernel, so
we need to change PKRU's contents. But, if we do a plain
'wrpkru', when we return to userspace we might do an XRSTOR and
wipe out the kernel's 'wrpkru'. So, we need to go after PKRU in
the xsave buffer.
We do this by:
1. Ensuring that we have the XSAVE registers (fpregs) in the
kernel FPU buffer (fpstate)
2. Looking up the location of a given state in the buffer
3. Filling in the stat
4. Ensuring that the hardware knows that state is present there
(basically that the 'init optimization' is not in place).
5. Copying the newly-modified state back to the registers if
necessary.
