In preparation for allowing non-task (i.e., KVM vcpu) FPSIMD contexts to be handled by the fpsimd common code, this patch adapts task_fpsimd_save() to save back the currently loaded context, removing the explicit dependency on current. The relevant storage to write back to in memory is now found by examining the fpsimd_last_state percpu struct. fpsimd_save() does nothing unless TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is clear, and fpsimd_last_state is updated under local_bh_disable() or local_irq_disable() everywhere that TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is cleared: thus, fpsimd_save() will write back to the correct storage for the loaded context. No functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
