Currently fpu__activate_fpstate() is used for two distinct purposes:
- read access by ptrace and core dumping, where in the core dumping
case the current task's FPU state may be examined as well.
- write access by ptrace, which modifies FPU registers and expects
the modified registers to be reloaded on the next context switch.
Split out the reading side into fpu__activate_fpstate_read().
( Note that this is just a pure duplication of fpu__activate_fpstate()
for the time being, we'll optimize the new function in the next patch. )

Bobby Powers reported the following FPU warning during ELF coredumping:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27452 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c:324 fpu__activate_stopped+0x8a/0xa0()
This warning unearthed an invalid assumption about fpu__activate_stopped()
that I added in:
67e97fc2ec ("x86/fpu: Rename init_fpu() to fpu__unlazy_stopped() and add debugging check")
the old init_fpu() function had an (intentional but obscure) side effect:
when FPU registers are accessed for the current task, for reading, then
it synchronized live in-register FPU state with the fpstate by saving it.
So fix this bug by saving the FPU if we are the current task. We'll
still warn in fpu__save() if this is called for not yet stopped
child tasks, so the debugging check is still preserved.
Also rename the function to fpu__activate_fpstate(), because it's not
exclusively used for stopped tasks, but for the current task as well.
( Note that this bug calls for a cleaner separation of access-for-read
and access-for-modification FPU methods, but we'll do that in separate
patches. )

So much of fpu/core.c is the regset code, but it just obscures the generic
FPU state machine logic. Factor out the regset code into fpu/regset.c, where
it can be read in isolation.
This affects one API: fpu__activate_stopped() has to be made available
from the core to fpu/regset.c.
No change in functionality.
