x86/fpu: Generalize 'init_xstate_ctx'
So the handling of init_xstate_ctx has a layering violation: both 'struct xsave_struct' and 'union thread_xstate' have a 'struct i387_fxsave_struct' member: xsave_struct::i387 thread_xstate::fxsave The handling of init_xstate_ctx is generic, it is used on all CPUs, with or without XSAVE instruction. So it's confusing how the generic code passes around and handles an XSAVE specific format. What we really want is for init_xstate_ctx to be a proper fpstate and we use its ::fxsave and ::xsave members, as appropriate. Since the xsave_struct::i387 and thread_xstate::fxsave aliases each other this is not a functional problem. So implement this, and move init_xstate_ctx to the generic FPU code in the process. Also, since init_xstate_ctx is not XSAVE specific anymore, rename it to init_fpstate, and mark it __read_mostly, because it's only modified once during bootup, and used as a reference fpstate later on. There's no change in functionality.
