x86/fpu: Allow caller to constrain xfeatures when copying to uabi buffer
Plumb an xfeatures mask into __copy_xstate_to_uabi_buf() so that KVM can constrain which xfeatures are saved into the userspace buffer without having to modify the user_xfeatures field in KVM's guest_fpu state. KVM's ABI for KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} is that features that are not exposed to guest must not show up in the effective xstate_bv field of the buffer. Saving only the guest-supported xfeatures allows userspace to load the saved state on a different host with a fewer xfeatures, so long as the target host supports the xfeatures that are exposed to the guest. KVM currently sets user_xfeatures directly to restrict KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} to the set of guest-supported xfeatures, but doing so broke KVM's historical ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which allows userspace to load any xfeatures that are supported by the *host*.
