SubjectRe: [PATCH 01/17] x86, fpu: wrap get_xsave_addr() to make it safer

The thing I was wrapping (get_xsave_addr()) was EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). I
assumed that it was exported for good reason and that my wrapper should
follow suit.

I do expect this to get used by more things than just MPX going forward.

But, I guess folks can just export it if and when they need it.
