[patch] x64: fix FPU corruption with signals and preemption

Subject: x64: fix FPU corruption with signals and preemption

Impact: fix FPU state corruption

In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving
the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between
clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we
can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing
we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule().

At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and
resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead
to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state
in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the
FPU state of the process.

Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored
onto the user stack.

This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes
and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x
series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit
__cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.
