x86/fpu: Restore from kernel memory on the 64-bit path too



The 64-bit case (both 64-bit and 32-bit frames) loads the new state from
user memory.

However, doing this is not desired if the FPU state is going to be
restored on return to userland: it would be required to disable
preemption in order to avoid a context switch which would set
TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. If this happens before the restore operation then the
loaded registers would become volatile.

Furthermore, disabling preemption while accessing user memory requires
to disable the pagefault handler. An error during FXRSTOR would then
mean that either a page fault occurred (and it would have to be retried
with enabled page fault handler) or a #GP occurred because the xstate is
bogus (after all, the signal handler can modify it).

In order to avoid that mess, copy the FPU state from userland, validate
it and then load it. The copy_kernel_…() helpers are basically just
like the old helpers except that they operate on kernel memory and the
fault handler just sets the error value and the caller handles it.

copy_user_to_fpregs_zeroing() and its helpers remain and will be used
later for a fastpath optimisation.
