Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 383c252545 x86/entry: Add TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD
Add TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. This flag is used for loading the FPU registers
before returning to userland. It must not be set on systems without a
FPU.

If this flag is cleared, the CPU's FPU registers hold the latest,
up-to-date content of the current task's (current()) FPU registers.
The in-memory copy (union fpregs_state) is not valid.

If this flag is set, then all of CPU's FPU registers may hold a random
value (except for PKRU) and it is required to load the content of the
FPU registers on return to userland.

Introduce it now as a preparatory change before adding the main feature.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
