Ard Biesheuvel May 8, 2014, 11:23 a.m. UTC 
There are two tacit assumptions in the FPSIMD handling code that will no longer
hold after the next patch that optimizes away some FPSIMD state restores:
. the FPSIMD registers of this CPU contain the userland FPSIMD state of
  task 'current';
. when switching to a task, its FPSIMD state will always be restored from
  memory.

This patch adds the following functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_preserve_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is saved
- fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state

Where necessary, the signal handling and fork code are updated to use the above
wrappers instead of poking into the FPSIMD registers directly.

Changes relative to previous version:
- moved newly added fpsimd_restore_current_state() and fpsimd_flush_task_state()
  to subsequent patch because that is where they are first used
- disable preemption in fpsimd_preserve_current_state() and
  fpsimd_update_current_state()
