Subject: x86/fpu: Fix fpu__activate_fpstate_read() and update comments
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4618e90965f272fe522f2af2523a60d0d4bc78f3;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86/fpu: Fix fpu__activate_fpstate_read() and update comments

fpu__activate_fpstate_read() can be called for the current task
when coredumping - or for stopped tasks when ptrace-ing.

Implement this properly in the code and update the comments.

This also fixes an incorrect (but harmless) warning introduced by
one of the earlier patches.
