[PATCH 2/8] fpu/bugs: Stop saving and restoring CR0.TS in fpu__init_check_bugs()

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Mon Oct 31 2016 - 18:20:59 EST


fpu__init_check_bugs() runs long after the early FPU init, so CR0.TS
will be clear by the time it runs. The save-and-restore dance would
have been unnecessary anyway, though, as kernel_fpu_begin() would
have been good enough.
