Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: remove memset call for xmm registers on xfpregs_set

This patch fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215524 by removing
the memset introduced by 6164331d15f7d912fb9369245368e9564ea49813, which
created a regression on ptrace PTRACE_SETREGSET request with NT_FPREGSET.
Particularly, it zeros some XMM registers on the wrong offsets. Fixing the offsets
only solves the problem for i686, which doesn't include xmm8-15 registers, so
the right way is to probably completely remove this call.
