Pull x86 fpu updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Misc preparatory changes for an upcoming FPU optimization that will
delay the loading of FPU registers to return-to-userspace"
* 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/fpu: Don't export __kernel_fpu_{begin,end}()
x86/fpu: Update comment for __raw_xsave_addr()
x86/fpu: Add might_fault() to user_insn()
x86/pkeys: Make init_pkru_value static
x86/thread_info: Remove _TIF_ALLWORK_MASK
x86/process/32: Remove asm/math_emu.h include
