Subject: x86/fpu: Do not inherit FPU context for kernel and IO worker threads
Git-commit: 509e7a30cd0a9f38abac4114832d9f69ff0d73b4
Patch-mainline: v5.15 or v5.15-rc8 (next release)
References: jsc#SLE-18931

There is no reason why kernel and IO worker threads need a full clone of
the parent's FPU state. Both are kernel threads which are not supposed to
use FPU. So copying a large state or doing XSAVE() is pointless. Just clean
out the minimally required state for those tasks.
