Subject: [PATCH] x86: make FPU state alignment enforcement and checking
 consistent

There's no point in validating only 16-byte alignment when XSAVE is in
use - 64-byte alignment is required here.

There's also no point in enforcing 64-btye alignment when XSAVE is not
in use - 16-byte alignment suffices here.

Also restrict the visibility of task_xstate_cachep by moving it to the
correct internal header (instead of it being declared in one included
by [almost] everyone).
