Subject: [PATCH 3.8 125/166] x86, fpu, amd: Clear exceptions in AMD FXSAVE workaround

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

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

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

commit 26bef1318adc1b3a530ecc807ef99346db2aa8b0 upstream.

Before we do an EMMS in the AMD FXSAVE information leak workaround we
need to clear any pending exceptions, otherwise we trap with a
floating-point exception inside this code.
