x86/fpu: Remove preempt_disable() in fpu__clear()
The preempt_disable() section was introduced in commit a10b6a16 ("x86/fpu: Make the fpu state change in fpu__clear() scheduler-atomic") and it was said to be temporary. fpu__initialize() initializes the FPU struct to its initial value and then sets ->initialized to 1. The last part is the important one. The content of the state does not matter because it gets set via copy_init_fpstate_to_fpregs(). A preemption here has little meaning because the registers will always be set to the same content after copy_init_fpstate_to_fpregs(). A softirq with a kernel_fpu_begin() could also force to save FPU's registers after fpu__initialize() without changing the outcome here. Remove the preempt_disable() section in fpu__clear(), preemption here does not hurt. Signed-off-by:Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by:
