x86/fpu/xstate: Fix an xstate size check warning with architectural LBRs

An xstate size check warning is triggered on machines which support
Architectural LBRs.

    XSAVE consistency problem, dumping leaves
    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c:649 fpu__init_system_xstate+0x4d4/0xd0e
    Modules linked in:
    CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted intel-arch_lbr+
    RIP: 0010:fpu__init_system_xstate+0x4d4/0xd0e

The xstate size check routine, init_xstate_size(), compares the size
retrieved from the hardware with the size of task->fpu, which is
calculated by the software.

The size from the hardware is the total size of the enabled xstates in
XCR0 | IA32_XSS. Architectural LBR state is a dynamic supervisor
feature, which sets the corresponding bit in the IA32_XSS at boot time.
The size from the hardware includes the size of the Architectural LBR
state.

However, a dynamic supervisor feature doesn't allocate a buffer in the
task->fpu. The size of task->fpu doesn't include the size of the
Architectural LBR state. The mismatch will trigger the warning.

Three options as below were considered to fix the issue:

- Correct the size from the hardware by subtracting the size of the
  dynamic supervisor features.
  The purpose of the check is to compare the size CPU told with the size
  of the XSAVE buffer, which is calculated by the software. If the
  software mucks with the number from hardware, it removes the value of
  the check.
  This option is not a good option.

- Prevent the hardware from counting the size of the dynamic supervisor
  feature by temporarily removing the corresponding bits in IA32_XSS.
  Two extra MSR writes are required to flip the IA32_XSS. The option is
  not pretty, but it is workable. The check is only called once at early
  boot time. The synchronization or context-switching doesn't need to be
  worried.
  This option is implemented here.

- Remove the check entirely, because the check hasn't found any real
  problems. The option may be an alternative as option 2.
  This option is not implemented here.

Add a new function, get_xsaves_size_no_dynamic(), which retrieves the
total size without the dynamic supervisor features from the hardware.
The size will be used to compare with the size of task->fpu.
