There are two kinds of FPU initialization sequences necessary to bring FPU
functionality up: once per system bootup activities, such as detection,
feature initialization, etc. of attributes that are shared by all CPUs
in the system - and per cpu initialization sequences run when a CPU is
brought online (either during bootup or during CPU hotplug onlining),
such as CR0/CR4 register setting, etc.
The FPU code is mixing these roles together, with no clear distinction.
Start sorting this out by splitting the main FPU detection routine
(fpu__cpu_init()) into two parts: fpu__init_system() for
one per system init activities, and fpu__init_cpu() for the
per CPU onlining init activities.
Note that xstate_init() is called from both variants for the time being,
because it has a dual nature as well. We'll fix that in upcoming patches.
Just do the split and call it as we used to before, don't introduce any
change in initialization behavior yet, beyond duplicate (and harmless)
fpu__init_cpu() and xstate_init() calls - which we'll fix in later
patches.

Make init_xstate_buf allocated statically at build time.
This structure's maximum size is around 1KB - and it's allocated even on
most modern embedded x86 CPUs which strive for FPU instruction set parity
with desktop and server CPUs, so it's not like we can save much on smaller
systems.
This removes the last bootmem allocation from the FPU init path, allowing
it to be called earlier in the boot sequence.

Remove the dependency on the init_xstate_buf == NULL check to
implement once-per-bootup logic in eager_fpu_init(), by making
setup_init_fpu_buf() run once per bootup explicitly.
This is in preparation to make init_xstate_buf statically
allocated.
The various boot-once quirks in the FPU init code will be removed
in a later cleanup stage.

fpstate_xstate_init_size() is called in fpu__cpu_init(), which is
run on every CPU, every time they are brought online.
But we want to call fpstate_xstate_init_size() only once. Move it to
fpu__detect(), which only runs once, on the boot CPU.
Also clean up the flow of fpstate_xstate_init_size() a bit, by
removing a 'return' from the middle of the function.

So the current code uses fpu->has_cpu to determine whether a given
user FPU context is actively loaded into the FPU's registers [*] and
that those registers represent the task's current FPU state.
But this term is not unambiguous: especially the distinction between
fpu->has_fpu, PF_USED_MATH and fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx is not clear.
Increase clarity by unambigously signalling that it's about
hardware registers being active right now, by renaming it to
fpu->fpregs_active.
( In later patches we'll use more of the 'fpregs' naming, which will
make it easier to grep for as well. )
[*] There's the kernel_fpu_begin()/end() primitive that also
activates FPU hw registers as well and uses them, without
touching the fpu->fpregs_active flag.

The code has the following problems:
- it uses a single global 'fx_scratch' area that multiple CPUs could
write into simultaneously, in theory.
- it wastes 512 bytes of .data for something that is only rarely used.
Fix this by moving the state buffer to the stack. Note that while
this is 512 bytes, we don't ever call this function in very deep
callchains, so its stack usage should not be a problem.
Also add comments to explain the magic 0x0000ffbf default value.

'xsave.header::xstate_bv' is a misnomer - what does 'bv' stand for?
It probably comes from the 'XGETBV' instruction name, but I could
not find in the Intel documentation where that abbreviation comes
from. It could mean 'bit vector' - or something else?
But how about - instead of guessing about a weird name - we named
the field in an obvious and descriptive way that tells us exactly
what it does?
So rename it to 'xfeatures', which is a bitmask of the
xfeatures that are fpstate_active in that context structure.
Eyesore like:
fpu->state->xsave.xsave_hdr.xstate_bv |= XSTATE_FP;
is now much more readable:
fpu->state->xsave.header.xfeatures |= XSTATE_FP;
Which form is not just infinitely more readable, but is also
shorter as well.

This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical
naming scheme:
- asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct',
widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept
as small as possible.
- asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems.
- asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU subsystem internal methods
- asm/fpu/xsave.h: XSAVE support internal methods
(Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

Introduce a simple fpu->fpstate_active flag in the fpu context data structure
and use that instead of PF_USED_MATH in task->flags.
Testing for this flag byte should be slightly more efficient than
testing a bit in a bitmask, but the main advantage is that most
FPU functions can now be performed on a 'struct fpu' alone, they
don't need access to 'struct task_struct' anymore.
There's a slight linecount increase, mostly due to the 'fpu' local
variables and due to extra comments. The local variables will go away
once we move most of the FPU methods to pure 'struct fpu' parameters.

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.
