restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions.
While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of
the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e21f1 ("x86: fix taking
DNA during 64bit sigreturn").
Post commit 92d140e21f1, live FPU registers may not belong to this
process at this error scenario.
In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the
64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU
register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into
the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong
and can leak the FPU data.
For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear
the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a
SIGSEGV for badframe).
For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a
SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state.
