When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added:
1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing
ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another
process. 2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but
vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them.
To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the
process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call
get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that
SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires
CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported.
This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie
<michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch
originally written by Linus.
Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER.
Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having
get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit.
Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of
vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c. Making
it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where.
As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into
vhost_task_fn. vhost_worker now returns true if work was done.
The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles
SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to
exit as part of process exit. This collection clears
__fatal_signal_pending. This collection is not guaranteed to
clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule()
sleeps.
For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the
last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as
part of freeing struct file. To avoid hangs in the coredump
rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec. The
coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads.
Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching
vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case
the vhost thread is no longer running.
Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the
above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into
get_signal.

We don't set it on PF_KTHREAD threads as they never return to userspace,
and PF_IO_WORKER threads are identical in that regard. As they keep
running in the kernel until they die, skip setting the FPU flag on them.
More of a cosmetic thing that was found while debugging and
issue and pondering why the FPU flag is set on these threads.

The IA32_XFD_MSR allows to arm #NM traps for XSTATE components which are
enabled in XCR0. The register has to be restored before the tasks XSTATE is
restored. The life time rules are the same as for FPU state.
XFD is updated on return to userspace only when the FPU state of the task
is not up to date in the registers. It's updated before the XRSTORS so
that eventually enabled dynamic features are restored as well and not
brought into init state.
Also in signal handling for restoring FPU state from user space the
correctness of the XFD state has to be ensured.
Add it to CPU initialization and resume as well.

xfeatures_mask_fpstate() is no longer valid when dynamically enabled
features come into play.
Rework restore_regs_from_fpstate() so it takes a constant mask which will
then be applied against the maximum feature set so that the restore
operation brings all features which are not in the xsave buffer xfeature
bitmap into init state.
This ensures that if the previous task used a dynamically enabled feature
that the task which restores has all unused components properly initialized.
Cleanup the last user of xfeatures_mask_fpstate() as well and remove it.

Convert restore_fpregs_from_fpstate() and related code to the new
register storage mechanism in preparation for dynamically sized buffers.

Only used internally in the FPU core code.
While at it, convert to the percpu accessors which verify preemption is
disabled.
