From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

PKRU has space in the task XSAVE buffer, but is not context-switched by
XSAVE/XRSTOR.  It is switched more eagerly than other FPU state because
PKRU affects things like copy_to/from_user().  This is because PKRU
affects user *PERMISSION* accesses, not just accesses made from user
*MODE* itself.

Prepare to move PKRU away from being XSAVE-managed.  Allocate space in
the thread_struct for it and save/restore it in the context-switch path
separately from the XSAVE-managed features.

Leave the XSAVE storage in place for now to ensure bisectability.
