Subject[PATCH] x86/fpu: Update kernel's FPU state before using for the fsave header
In commit

39388e80f9b0c ("x86/fpu: Don't save fxregs for ia32 frames in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()")

I removed the statement
| if (ia32_fxstate)
| copy_fxregs_to_kernel(fpu);

and argued that is was wrongly merged because the content was already
saved in kernel's state and the content.
This was wrong: It is required to write it back because it is only saved
on the user-stack and save_fsave_header() reads it from task's
FPU-state. I missed that part…

Save x87 FPU state unless thread's FPU registers are already up to date.

Fixes: 39388e80f9b0c ("x86/fpu: Don't save fxregs for ia32 frames in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()")
