x86/fpu: Split out the fpu__activate_fpstate_read() method
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. ) Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: H.
