x86/fpu: Rename XSAVE macros
There are two concepts that have some confusing naming: 1. Extended State Component numbers (currently called XFEATURE_BIT_*) 2. Extended State Component masks (currently called XSTATE_*) The numbers are (currently) from 0-9. State component 3 is the bounds registers for MPX, for instance. But when we want to enable "state component 3", we go set a bit in XCR0. The bit we set is 1<<3. We can check to see if a state component feature is enabled by looking at its bit. The current 'xfeature_bit's are at best xfeature bit _numbers_. Calling them bits is at best inconsistent with ending the enum list with 'XFEATURES_NR_MAX'. This patch renames the enum to be 'xfeature'. These also happen to be what the Intel documentation calls a "state component". We also want to differentiate these from the "XSTATE_*" macros. The "XSTATE_*" macros are a mask, and we rename them to match. These macros are reasonably widely used so this patch is a wee bit big, but this really is just a rename. The only non-mechanical part of this is the s/XSTATE_EXTEND_MASK/XFEATURE_MASK_EXTEND/ We need a better name for it, but that's another patch.
