[PATCH 01/17] x86, fpu: wrap get_xsave_addr() to make it safer

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes from "v19":
 * remove 'tsk' argument to get_xsave_addr() since the code
   can only realistically work on 'current', and fix up the
   comment a bit to match.

Changes from "v17":
 * fix s/xstate/xsave_field/ in the function comment
 * remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()

---
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The MPX code appears to be saving off the FPU in an unsafe
way.   It does not disable preemption or ensure that the
FPU state has been allocated.

This patch introduces a new helper which will do both of
those things internally.

Note that this requires a patch from Oleg in order to work
properly.  It is currently in tip/x86/fpu.
