x86/fpu: Sanitize xstateregs_set()



xstateregs_set() operates on a stopped task and tries to copy the provided
buffer into the task's fpu.state.xsave buffer.

Any error while copying or invalid state detected after copying results in
wiping the target task's FPU state completely including supervisor states.

That's just wrong. The caller supplied invalid data or has a problem with
unmapped memory, so there is absolutely no justification to corrupt the
target state.

Fix this with the following modifications:

 1) If data has to be copied from userspace, allocate a buffer and copy from
    user first.

 2) Use copy_kernel_to_xstate() unconditionally so that header checking
    works correctly.

 3) Return on error without corrupting the target state.

This prevents corrupting states and lets the caller deal with the problem
it caused in the first place.
