[5.2 regression] copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() change causing crash in 32-bit process

On latest Linus' tree I'm getting a crash in a 32-bit Wine process.

I bisected it to the following commit:

x86/fpu: Don't save fxregs for ia32 frames in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

Reverting the commit by applying the following diff makes the problem go away.

return -1;

Apparently the problem is that save_fsave_header() assumes the registers have
been saved to fpu->state.fxsave, yet the code that does so was removed.

Note, bisection was not straightforward because there was another bug also
causing a crash temporarily introduced during the FPU code rework: commit
39ea9baffda9 ("x86/fpu: Remove fpu->initialized usage in __fpu__restore_sig()")
forgot to call fpstate_init() on the temporary 'state' buffer, so
XCOMP_BV_COMPACTED_FORMAT was never set, causing xrstors to fail. But that bug
went away in later commits.
