i387: don't ever touch TS_USEDFPU directly, use helper functions
commit 6d59d7a9f5b723a7ac1925c136e93ec83c0c3043 upstream. This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead. In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have fewer random places that open-code this situation. The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses. Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its own or even make it a per-cpu variable.
