Subject: [PATCH Bugfix 1/4] x86/xsave.c: Fix xstate offsets and sizes enumeration

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>

When enumerating xstate offsets and sizes from cpuid (eax=0x0d, ecx>=2),
it's possible that state m is not implemented while state n (n>m)
is implemented. So enumeration shouldn't stop at state m.

There is no platform configured like above yet. But this could be a problem
in the future. For example, suppose XCR0=0xe7, that means FP, SSE, AVX, and
AVX-512 states are enabled and MPX states (bit 3 and 4) are not enabled.
Then in setup_xstate_features(), after finding BNDREGS size is 0 (i.e. eax
from CPUID xstate subleaf 3, break from the for loop. That stops finding
xstate_offsets and xstate_sizes for AVX-512. Later on incorrect
xstate_offsets and xstate_sizes for AVX-512 will be used in a few places
and will causes issues.

This patch enumerates xstate offsets and sizes for all kernel supported
xstates. If a state is not implemented in hardware or not enabled in XCR0,
its size is set as zero and its offset is read from cpuid.
