[PATCH v8 22/26] x86/fpu/xstate: Skip writing zeros to signal frame for dynamic user states if in INIT-state

[Chang S. Bae]

By default, for XSTATE features in the INIT-state, XSAVE writes zeros to
the uncompressed destination buffer.

E.g., if you are not using AVX-512, you will still get a bunch of zeros on
the signal stack where live AVX-512 data would go.

For 'dynamic user state' (currently only XTILEDATA), explicitly skip this
data transfer. The result is that the user buffer for the AMX region will
not be touched by XSAVE.

[ Reading XINUSE takes about 20-30 cycles, but writing zeros consumes about
  5-times or more, e.g., for XTILEDATA. ]
