[Patch v8 08/23] x86/fpu: Ensure TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD is set after saving FPU state

[Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>]

Following Peter and Dave's suggestion, Ensure that the TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD
flag is always set after saving the FPU state. This guarantees that the
user space FPU state has been saved whenever the TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD flag
is set.

A subsequent patch will verify if the user space FPU state can be
retrieved from the saved task FPU state in the NMI context by checking
the TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD flag.

Please check the below link to get more background about the suggestion.
