x86/fpu/xstate: Copy xstate registers directly to the signal frame when compacted format is in use

XSAVES is a kernel instruction and uses a compacted format. When working
with user space, the kernel should provide standard-format, non-supervisor
state data. We cannot do __copy_to_user() from a compacted-format kernel
xstate area to a signal frame.

Dave Hansen proposes this method to simplify copy xstate directly to user.

This patch is based on an earlier patch from Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
