[PATCH 3/7] x86/fpu: Make the fpu state change in fpu__clear() scheduler-atomic

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Thu Jan 26 2017 - 06:26:57 EST


Do this temporarily only, to make it easier to change the FPU state machine,
in particular this change couples the fpu->fpregs_active and fpu->fpstate_active
states: they are only set/cleared together (as far as the scheduler sees them).

This will be removed by later patches.
