x86/fpu: Load xsave pointer *after* initialization

So I was playing with gdb today and did this simple thing:

gdb /bin/ls

...

(gdb) run

Box exploded with this splat:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000001d0
IP: [<ffffffff8100fe5a>] xstateregs_get+0x7a/0x120
[...]

Call Trace:
ptrace_regset
ptrace_request
? wait_task_inactive
? preempt_count_sub
arch_ptrace
? ptrace_get_task_struct
SyS_ptrace
system_call_fastpath

... because we do cache &target->thread.fpu.state->xsave into the
local variable xsave but that pointer is NULL at that time and
it gets initialized later, in init_fpu(), see:

e7f180dcd8ab ("x86/fpu: Change xstateregs_get()/set() to use ->xsave.i387 rather than ->fxsave")

The fix is simple: load xsave *after* init_fpu() has run.

Also do the same in xstateregs_set(), as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.
