Track the FPU owner context instead of the owner task: this change,
together with other changes, will allow in subsequent patches the
elimination of 'struct task_struct' usage in various FPU code:
we'll be able to use 'struct fpu' only.
There's no change in code size:

Ever since the kernel started defaulting to eager FPU switches on modern Intel
CPUs it's not been obvious whether a given system is using the lazy or the eager
FPU context switching logic.
So generate a boot message about which mode the FPU code is in:
x86/fpu: Using 'lazy' FPU context switches.
or:
x86/fpu: Using 'eager' FPU context switches.

flush_thread() open codes a lot of FPU internals - create a separate
function for it in fpu/core.c.
Turns out that this does not hurt performance:
text data bss dec hex filename
11843039 1884440 1130496 14857975 e2b6f7 vmlinux.before
11843039 1884440 1130496 14857975 e2b6f7 vmlinux.after
and since this is a slowpath clarity comes first anyway.
We can reconsider inlining decisions after the FPU code has been cleaned up.

Fix a minor header file dependency bug in asm/fpu-internal.h: it
relies on i387.h but does not include it. All users of fpu-internal.h
included it explicitly.
Also remove unnecessary includes, to reduce compilation time.
This also makes it easier to use it as a standalone header file
for FPU internals, such as an upcoming C module in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/.

fpu_init() is a bit of a misnomer in that it (falsely) creates the
impression that it's related to the (old) fpu_finit() function,
which initializes FPU ctx state.
Rename it to fpu__cpu_init() to make its boot time initialization
clear, and to move it to the fpu__*() namespace.
Also fix and extend its comment block to point out that it's
called not only on the boot CPU, but on secondary CPUs as well.

This is not a small function, and it's used in several places,
one of them a popular module (KVM).
Move the function out of line. This saves a bit of text,
even with the symbol export overhead:

This function is a misnomer on two levels:
1) it doesn't really manipulate TS on modern CPUs anymore, its
primary purpose is to save FPU state, used:
- when executing fork()/clone(): to copy current FPU state
to the child's FPU state.
- when handling math exceptions: to generate the math error
si_code in the signal frame.
2) even on legacy CPUs it doesn't actually 'unlazy', if then
it lazies the FPU state: as a side effect of the old FNSAVE
instruction which clears (destroys) FPU state it's necessary
to set CR0::TS.
So rename it to fpu__save() to better reflect its purpose.

So while testing kernels using tools/kvm/ (kvmtool) I noticed that it
booted super slow:
[ 0.142991] Performance Events: no PMU driver, software events only.
[ 0.149265] x86: Booting SMP configuration:

One CPU booted up per 10 seconds. With 120 CPUs that takes a while.
Bisection pinpointed this commit:
853b160aaa ("Revert f5d6a52f51 ("x86/smpboot: Skip delays during SMP initialization similar to Xen")")
But that commit just restores previous behavior, so it cannot cause the
problem. After some head scratching it turns out that these two commits:
1a744cb356 ("x86/smp/boot: Remove 10ms delay from cpu_up() on modern processors")
d68921f9bd ("x86/smp/boot: Add cmdline "cpu_init_udelay=N" to specify cpu_up() delay")
added the following code to smpboot.c:
- mdelay(10);
+ mdelay(init_udelay);
Note the mismatch in the units: the delay is called 'udelay' and is set
to microseconds - while the function used here is actually 'mdelay',
which counts in milliseconds ...
So the delay for legacy systems is off by a factor of 1,000, so instead
of 10 msecs we waited for 10 seconds ...
The reason bisection pointed to 853b160aaa was that 853b160aaa removed
a (broken) boot-time speedup patch, which masked the factor 1,000 bug.
Fix it by using udelay(). This fixes my bootup problems.

Derek noticed that a critical MCE gets reported with the wrong
error type description:
[Hardware Error]: CPU 34: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 9: f200003f000100b0
[Hardware Error]: RIP !INEXACT! 10:<ffffffff812e14c1> {intel_idle+0xb1/0x170}
[Hardware Error]: TSC 49587b8e321cb
[Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:306e4 TIME 1431561296 SOCKET 1 APIC 29
[Hardware Error]: Some CPUs didn't answer in synchronization
[Hardware Error]: Machine check: Invalid
^^^^^^^
The last line with 'Invalid' should have printed the high level
MCE error type description we get from mce_severity, i.e.
something like:
[Hardware Error]: Machine check: Action required: data load error in a user process
this happens due to the fact that mce_no_way_out() iterates over
all MCA banks and possibly overwrites the @msg argument which is
used in the panic printing later.
Change behavior to take the message of only and the (last)
critical MCE it detects.
