[PATCH 07/10] x86/fpu: Refactor xfeature bitmask update code for sigframe XSAVE

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 22:18:55 EST


Currently, saving register states in the signal frame, the legacy feature
bits are always set in xregs_state->header->xfeatures. This code sequence
can be generalized for reuse in similar cases.

Refactor the logic to ensure a consistent approach across similar usages.

Changes from the last posting:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250214010607.7067-2-chang.seok.bae@xxxxxxxxx/
* No change

This patch and the next were previously posted together. I thought this
refactoring is a meaningful step toward decoupling PKRU from an
unnecessary dependency on XGETBV(1).
