x86/fpu/xstate: Keep init_fpstate.xsave.header.xfeatures as zero for init optimization Keep init_fpstate.xsave.header.xfeatures as zero for init optimization. This is important for init optimization that is implemented in processor. If a bit corresponding to an xstate in xstate_bv is 0, it means the xstate is in init status and will not be read from memory to the processor during XRSTOR/XRSTORS instruction. This largely impacts context switch performance.
