x86/fpu: Fix boot crash in the early FPU code
Jan Kara and Thomas Gleixner reported boot crashes in the FPU
code:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81048a6c>] [<ffffffff81048a6c>] mxcsr_feature_mask_init+0x1c/0x40
2b:* 0f ae 85 00 fe ff ff fxsave -0x200(%rbp)
and bisected it down to the following FPU commit:
91a8c2a5b43f ("x86/fpu: Clean up and fix MXCSR handling")
The reason is that the on-stack FPU registers state variable,
used by the FXSAVE instruction, did not have the required
minimum alignment of 16 bytes, causing the general protection
fault.
This is most likely a GCC bug in older GCC versions, but the
offending commit also added a bogus extra 32-byte alignment
(which GCC ignored too).
So fix this bug by making the variable static again, but also
mark it __initdata this time, because fpu__init_system_mxcsr()
is now an __init function.
