Change xsave_user() and xrestore_user() to avoid the (imho) horrible and should-die xstate_fault helper, they both can use __user_insn().
This also removes the "memory" clobber but I think it was never needed. xrestore_user() doesn't change the memory, it only changes the FPU regs. xsave_user() does write to "*buf" but this memory is "__user", we must never access it directly. This patch adds '"=m" (*buf)' in both cases, but this is only because currently __user_insn() needs the non-empty "output" arg. Note: I think we can change all other xstate_fault users too, including alternative_input's.
