Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.
This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.
Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
the state is not saved in the memory layout.
And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
in the memory layout.
First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).
The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

x86: split out core __math_state_restore
This function measures whether the FPU/SSE state can be touched in
interrupt context. If the interrupted code is in user space or has no
valid FPU/SSE context (CR0.TS == 1), FPU/SSE state can be used in IRQ
or soft_irq context too.
This is used by AES-NI accelerated AES implementation and PCLMULQDQ
accelerated GHASH implementation.
v3:
- Renamed to irq_fpu_usable to reflect the purpose of the function.
v2:
- Renamed to irq_is_fpu_using to reflect the real situation.

Split the core fpu state restoration out into __math_state_restore, which
assumes that cr0.TS is clear and that the fpu context has been initialized.
This will be used during context switch. There are two reasons this is
desireable:
- There's a small clarification. When __switch_to() calls math_state_restore,
it relies on the fact that tsk_used_math() returns true, and so will
never do a blocking init_fpu(). __math_state_restore() does not have
(or need) that logic, so the question never arises.
- It allows the clts() to be moved earler in __switch_to() so it can be performed
while cpu context updates are batched (will be done in a later patch).

Impact: cleanup
On x86_32, separate f*rstor to an inline function which makes
restore_fpu_checking the same on both platforms -> move it
outside the ifdefs.

Impact: cleanup, prepare FPU code unificaton
Like on x86_64, return an error from restore_fpu and kill the task
if it fails.
Also rename restore_fpu to restore_fpu_checking which allows ifdefs
to be removed in math_state_restore().

Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace
init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.
This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.
An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.
The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
