Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] x86/fpu: change xsave_user() and xrestore_user()
	to use __user_insn()

Change xsave_user() and xrestore_user() to avoid the (imho) horrible
and should-die xstate_fault helper, they both can use __user_insn().

This also removes the "memory" clobber but I think it was never needed.
xrestore_user() doesn't change the memory, it only changes the FPU regs.
xsave_user() does write to "*buf" but this memory is "__user", we must
never access it directly.

This patch adds '"=m" (*buf)' in both cases, but this is only because
currently __user_insn() needs the non-empty "output" arg.

Note: I think we can change all other xstate_fault users too, including
alternative_input's.
