[Patch v7 08/24] x86/fpu/xstate: Add xsaves_nmi() helper

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Add xsaves_nmi() to save supported xsave states in NMI handler.

This function is similar to xsaves(), but should only be called within
a NMI handler. This function returns the actual register contents at
the moment the NMI occurs.

Currently the perf subsystem is the sole user of this helper. It uses
this function to snapshot SIMD (XMM/YMM/ZMM) and APX eGPRs registers
which would be added in subsequent patches.
