Subject: [PATCH v3 14/21] x86/fpu/xstate: Support ptracer-induced xstate buffer expansion

ptrace() may update xstate data before the target task has taken an XFD
fault and expanded the context switch buffer. Detect this case and allocate
a sufficient buffer to support the request. Also, disable the (now
unnecessary) associated first-use fault.

No functional change until the kernel supports dynamic user states.
