The struct fpu.initialized member is always set to one for user tasks
and zero for kernel tasks. This avoids saving/restoring the FPU
registers for kernel threads.
The ->initialized = 0 case for user tasks has been removed in previous
changes, for instance, by doing an explicit unconditional init at fork()
time for FPU-less systems which was otherwise delayed until the emulated
opcode.
The context switch code (switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish())
can't unconditionally save/restore registers for kernel threads. Not
only would it slow down the switch but also load a zeroed xcomp_bv for
XSAVES.
For kernel_fpu_begin() (+end) the situation is similar: EFI with runtime
services uses this before alternatives_patched is true. Which means that
this function is used too early and it wasn't the case before.
For those two cases, use current->mm to distinguish between user and
kernel thread. For kernel_fpu_begin() skip save/restore of the FPU
registers.
During the context switch into a kernel thread don't do anything. There
is no reason to save the FPU state of a kernel thread.
The reordering in __switch_to() is important because the current()
pointer needs to be valid before switch_fpu_finish() is invoked so ->mm
is seen of the new task instead the old one.
N.B.: fpu__save() doesn't need to check ->mm because it is called by
user tasks only.
