x86/fpu: Restore the masking out of reserved MXCSR bits



Ser Olmy reported a boot failure:

  init[1] bad frame in sigreturn frame:(ptrval) ip:b7c9fbe6 sp:bf933310 orax:ffffffff \
	  in libc-2.33.so[b7bed000+156000]

on an old 32-bit Intel CPU:

  vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
  cpu family      : 6
  model           : 6
  model name      : Celeron (Mendocino)
  stepping        : 5
  microcode       : 0x3

Ser bisected the problem to the commit in Fixes.

tglx suggested reverting the rejection of invalid MXCSR values which
this commit introduced and replacing it with what the old code did -
simply masking them out to zero.

Further debugging confirmed his suggestion:

  fpu->state.fxsave.mxcsr: 0xb7be13b4, mxcsr_feature_mask: 0xffbf
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c:384 __fpu_restore_sig+0x51f/0x540

so restore the original behavior only for 32-bit kernels where you have
ancient machines with buggy hardware. For 32-bit programs on 64-bit
kernels, user space which supplies wrong MXCSR values is considered
malicious so fail the sigframe restoration there.
