x86/fpu: Remove XSTATE_RESERVE
The original purpose of XSTATE_RESERVE was to carve out space
to store all of the possible extended state components that
get saved with the XSAVE instruction(s).
However, we are now almost entirely dynamically allocating
the buffers we use for XSAVE by placing them at the end of
the task_struct and them sizing them at boot. The one
exception for that is the init_task.
The maximum extended state component size that we have today
is on systems with space for AVX-512 and Memory Protection
Keys: 2696 bytes. We have reserved a PAGE_SIZE buffer in
the init_task via fpregs_state->__padding.
This check ensures that even if the component sizes or
layout were changed (which we do not expect), that we will
still not overflow the init_task's buffer.
In the case that we detect we might overflow the buffer,
we completely disable XSAVE support in the kernel and try
to boot as if we had 'legacy x87 FPU' support in place.
This is a crippled state without any of the XSAVE-enabled
features (MPX, AVX, etc...). But, it at least let us
boot safely.
