x86/mm/pkeys: Fix compact mode by removing protection keys' XSAVE buffer manipulation

The Memory Protection Keys "rights register" (PKRU) is
XSAVE-managed, and is saved/restored along with the FPU state.

When kernel code accesses FPU regsisters, it does a delicate
dance with preempt.  Otherwise, the context switching code can
get confused as to whether the most up-to-date state is in the
registers themselves or in the XSAVE buffer.

But, PKRU is not a normal FPU register.  Using it does not
generate the normal device-not-available (#NM) exceptions which
means we can not manage it lazily, and the kernel completley
disallows using lazy mode when it is enabled.

The dance with preempt *only* occurs when managing the FPU
lazily.  Since we never manage PKRU lazily, we do not have to do
the dance with preempt; we can access it directly.  Doing it
this way saves a ton of complicated code (and is faster too).

Further, the XSAVES reenabling failed to patch a bit of code
in fpu__xfeature_set_state() the checked for compacted buffers.
That check caused fpu__xfeature_set_state() to silently refuse to
work when the kernel is using compacted XSAVE buffers.  This
broke execute-only and future pkey_mprotect() support when using
compact XSAVE buffers.

But, removing fpu__xfeature_set_state() gets rid of this issue,
in addition to the nice cleanup and speedup.

This fixes the same thing as a fix that Sai posted:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/25/637

The fix that he posted is a much more obviously correct, but I
think we should just do this instead.
