[PATCH 1/7] x86/xstate: Fix initialisation of XSS cache

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>]

The clobbering of this_cpu(xcr0) and this_cpu(xss) to architecturally invalid
values is to force the subsequent set_xcr0() and set_msr_xss() to reload the
hardware register.

While XCR0 is reloaded in xstate_init(), MSR_XSS isn't.  This causes
get_msr_xss() to return the invalid value, and logic of the form:

  old = get_msr_xss();
  set_msr_xss(new);
  ...
  set_msr_xss(old);

to try and restore the architecturally invalid value.

The architecturally invalid value must be purged from the cache, meaning the
hardware register must be written at least once.  This in turn highlights that
the invalid value must only be used in the case that the hardware register is
available.
