Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86, xsave: fix non-lazy allocation of the xsave area

A single static xsave area just for init is not enough, since there are
more user processes that are directly executed by kernel threads. Add a
call to a new arch-specific function to flush_old_exec(), which will in
turn call fpu_alloc() to allocate a xsave area if necessary.
