This follows the x86 xstate changes and implements a task_xstate slab
cache that is dynamically sized to match one of hard FP/soft FP/FPU-less.
This also tidies up and consolidates some of the SH-2A/SH-4 FPU
fragmentation. Now fpu state restorers are commonly defined, with the
init_fpu()/fpu_init() mess reworked to follow the x86 convention.
The fpu_init() register initialization has been replaced by xstate setup
followed by writing out to hardware via the standard restore path.
As init_fpu() now performs a slab allocation a secondary lighterweight
restorer is also introduced for the context switch.
In the future the DSP state will be rolled in here, too.
More work remains for math emulation and the SH-5 FPU, which presently
uses its own special (UP-only) interfaces.

Presently the thread_info allocators are special cased, depending on
THREAD_SHIFT < PAGE_SHIFT. This provides a sensible definition for them
regardless of configuration, in preparation for extended CPU state.

A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular:
- move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which
is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field,
which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to
be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock().
This mimics the i386 behaviour.
- move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out
of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better
chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical
with restore_fpu() and init_fpu().
- implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can
unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures.
Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in
particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads,
In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000
context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own
set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit
operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING
always has to be set too.
Based on the x86 and powerpc change.

This is necessary to get ftrace syscall tracing working again.. a fairly
trivial and mechanical change. The one benefit is that this can also be
enabled on sh64, despite not having its own ftrace port.

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.
Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

Now that I've added TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE the thread flags do not fit into
a single byte any more. Code testing them now needs to be aware of the
upper and lower bytes.

This follows the powerpc commit f6a616800e
'[POWERPC] Fix kernel stack allocation alignment'.
SH has traditionally forced the thread order to be relative to the page
size, so there were never any situations where the same bug was
triggered by slub. Regardless, the usage of > 8kB stacks for the larger
page sizes is overkill, so we switch to using slab allocations there,
as per the powerpc change.

This follows the changes in commits:
7d6d637dac4f72c4279e
on powerpc. Adding in TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and cleaning up the syscall
tracing to be more generic. This is an incremental step to turning
on tracehook, as well as unifying more of the ptrace and signal code
across the 32/64 split.
