x86/fpu: Remove fpu->initialized usage in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()
With lazy-FPU support the (now named variable) ->initialized was set to true if the CPU's FPU registers were holding a valid state of the FPU registers for the active process. If it was set to false then the FPU state was saved in fpu->state and the FPU was deactivated. With lazy-FPU gone, ->initialized is always true for user threads and kernel threads never call this function so ->initialized is always true in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe(). The using_compacted_format() check is also a leftover from the lazy-FPU time. In the ->initialized == false case copy_to_user() would copy the compacted buffer while userland would expect the non-compacted format instead. So in order to save the FPU state in the non-compacted form it issues XSAVE to save the *current* FPU state. If the FPU is not enabled, the attempt raises the FPU trap, the trap restores the FPU contents and re-enables the FPU and XSAVE is invoked again and succeeds. *This* does not longer work since commit bef8b6da9522 ("x86/fpu: Handle #NM without FPU emulation as an error") Remove the check for ->initialized because it is always true and remove the false condition. Update the comment to reflect that the state is always live.
