The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid
floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an
incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler
chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl()
function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger
kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the
signal stack.
This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c86055
"s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register"

Split the API and FPU type definitions into separate header files
similar to "x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h" (78f7f1e54b).
The new header files and their meaning are:
asm/fpu/types.h:
FPU related data types, needed for 'struct thread_struct' and
'struct task_struct'.
asm/fpu/api.h:
FPU related 'public' functions for other subsystems and device
drivers.
asm/fpu/internal.h:
FPU internal functions mainly used to convert
FPU register contents in signal handling.
