sched: Make task_struct::thread constant size, x86/fpu: Remove thread::fpu

[PATCH tip/x86/fpu 5/6] x86/fpu: fpu__drop: check TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD instead of PF_KTHREAD|PF_USER_WORKER

Posted by Oleg Nesterov 9 months, 1 week ago

PF_KTHREAD|PF_USER_WORKER tasks should never clear TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD,
so the TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD check should equally filter them out.

And this way an exiting userspace task can avoid the unnecessary "fwait"
if it does context_switch() at least once on its way to exit_thread().
