x86/fpu: Load xsave pointer *after* initialization

From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>

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

gdb /bin/ls

...

(gdb) run

Box exploded with the splat at the end 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

Yes, but don't we need the same change in xstateregs_set() ?

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