[PATCH] x86/fpu: Fix get_xsave_addr which returns error pointer to KVM

From: Huaitong Han
Date: Fri Nov 06 2015 - 04:00:49 EST


when KVM uses the get_xsave_addr, xsave parameter belongs to guest vcpu, if
xsave is replaced with current task (host) xsave, get_xsave_addr will return error
xsave addr to KVM.
