x86/fpu/signal: Move xstate clearing out of copy_fpregs_to_sigframe()
When the direct saving of the FPU registers to the user space sigframe fails, copy_fpregs_to_sigframe() attempts to clear the user buffer. The most likely reason for such a fail is a page fault. As copy_fpregs_to_sigframe() is invoked with pagefaults disabled the chance that __clear_user() succeeds is minuscule. Move the clearing out into the caller which replaces the fault_in_pages_writeable() in that error handling path. The return value confusion will be cleaned up separately.
