x86, fpu: correct the asm constraints for fxsave, unbreak mxcsr.daz
GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c:
memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask;
if (mask == 0)
mask = 0x0000ffbf;
to
memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
mask = 0x0000ffbf;
since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch. As the
result, the DAZ bit will be cleared. This patch fixes it. This bug
dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12.
