Subject: [ 09/20] x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vincent Palatin <vpalatin@...omium.org>

commit 644c154186386bb1fa6446bc5e037b9ed098db46 upstream.

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.
