x86, xsave: Sync xsave memory layout with its header for user handling
With xsaveopt, if a processor implementation discern that a processor state
component is in its initialized state it may modify the corresponding bit in
the xsave_hdr.xstate_bv as '0', with out modifying the corresponding memory
layout. Hence wHile presenting the xstate information to the user, we always
ensure that the memory layout of a feature will be in the init state if the
corresponding header bit is zero. This ensures the consistency and avoids the
condition of the user seeing some some stale state in the memory layout during
signal handling, debugging etc.
