Subject: [PATCH v6 12/13] x86/xsaves: Fix fpstate_init() for XRSTORS

In XSAVES mode if fpstate_init() is used to initialize a
task's extended state area, xsave.header.xcomp_bv[63] must
be set. Otherwise, when the task is scheduled, a warning is
triggered from copy_kernel_to_xregs().

One such test case is: setting an invalid extended state
through PTRACE. When xstateregs_set() rejects the syscall
and re-initializes the task's extended state area. This triggers the
warning mentioned above.
