[PATCH 4.8 18/37] x86/fpu: Fix invalid FPU ptrace state after execve()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

commit b22cbe404a9cc3c7949e380fa1861e31934c8978 upstream.

Robert O'Callahan reported that after an execve PTRACE_GETREGSET
NT_X86_XSTATE continues to return the pre-exec register values
until the exec'ed task modifies FPU state.

The test code is at:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1164286.

What is happening is fpu__clear() does not properly clear fpstate.
Fix it by doing just that.
