Subject: [PATCH v5 16/28] 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 xstate buffer. Detect this case and allocate a
sufficient buffer to support the request. Also, disable the (now
unnecessary) associated first-use fault.
