[PATCH v4 1/2] x86/fpu: Allow PKRU to be (once again) written by ptrace.

From: Kyle Huey <me@kylehuey.com>

When management of the PKRU register was moved away from XSTATE, emulation
of PKRU's existence in XSTATE was added for APIs that read XSTATE, but not
for APIs that write XSTATE. This can be seen by running gdb and executing
`p $pkru`, `set $pkru = 42`, and `p $pkru`. On affected kernels (5.14+) the
write to the PKRU register (which gdb performs through ptrace) is ignored.

There are three relevant APIs: PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_X86_XSTATE,
sigreturn, and KVM_SET_XSAVE. KVM_SET_XSAVE has its own special handling to
make PKRU writes take effect (in fpu_copy_uabi_to_guest_fpstate). Push that
down into copy_uabi_to_xstate and have PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_X86_XSTATE
and sigreturn pass in pointers to the appropriate PKRU value.

This also adds code to initialize the PKRU value to the hardware init value
(namely 0) if the PKRU bit is not set in the XSTATE header to match XRSTOR.
This is a change to the current KVM_SET_XSAVE behavior.

Changelog since v3:
- The v3 patch is now part 1 of 2.
- Adds a selftest in part 2 of 2.

Changelog since v2:
- Removed now unused variables in fpu_copy_uabi_to_guest_fpstate

Changelog since v1:
- Handles the error case of copy_to_buffer().
