Oleg Nesterov 7575637ab2 x86, fpu: Fix math_state_restore() race with kernel_fpu_begin()
math_state_restore() can race with kernel_fpu_begin() if irq comes
right after __thread_fpu_begin(), __save_init_fpu() will overwrite
fpu->state we are going to restore.

Add 2 simple helpers, kernel_fpu_disable() and kernel_fpu_enable()
which simply set/clear in_kernel_fpu, and change math_state_restore()
to exclude kernel_fpu_begin() in between.

Alternatively we could use local_irq_save/restore, but probably these
new helpers can have more users.

Perhaps they should disable/enable preemption themselves, in this case
we can remove preempt_disable() in __restore_xstate_sig().
