that ->initialized field is gone.

One thing let to another. It gets to an include mess once I tried to do
more than just reading / writting the value.
I kept now write_pkru() and added __write_pkru_if_new() which does the
extra pieces. If you don't like the new version we would need to look on
how to make it simpler :)

The function name read like init_pkru value is copied to fpregs save
area which is not the case. I could revert it if you prefer.

What is necessary? The manual update of "pk->pkru?

Well, yes. Since my write_pkru() checks if the new value the same as the
current I dropped most of the code here.
