Nice polishing!

Can't do that yet - that one is still called from regset.c:

arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c: In function ‘xstateregs_set’:
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c:135:10: error: implicit declaration of function ‘validate_user_xstate_header’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  135 |    ret = validate_user_xstate_header(&xsave->header);
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Maybe after the 5th patch which kills that usage too.
