x86/fpu: Avoid writing LBR bit to IA32_XSS unless supported
There are two distinct CPU features related to the use of XSAVES and LBR:
whether LBR is itself supported and whether XSAVES supports LBR. The LBR
subsystem correctly checks both in intel_pmu_arch_lbr_init(), but the
XSTATE subsystem does not.
The LBR bit is only removed from xfeatures_mask_independent when LBR is not
supported by the CPU, but there is no validation of XSTATE support.
If XSAVES does not support LBR the write to IA32_XSS causes a #GP fault,
leaving the state of IA32_XSS unchanged, i.e. zero. The fault is handled
with a warning and the boot continues.
Consequently the next XRSTORS which tries to restore supervisor state fails
with #GP because the RFBM has zero for all supervisor features, which does
not match the XCOMP_BV field.
As XFEATURE_MASK_FPSTATE includes supervisor features setting up the FPU
causes a #GP, which ends up in fpu_reset_from_exception_fixup(). That fails
due to the same problem resulting in recursive #GPs until the kernel runs
out of stack space and double faults.
Prevent this by storing the supported independent features in
fpu_kernel_cfg during XSTATE initialization and use that cached value for
retrieving the independent feature bits to be written into IA32_XSS.
