I thought I was missing something but the only write I saw of this was:

  __this_cpu_write(fpsimd_last_state.st, NULL);

which implied to me it is possible to have an invalid de-reference. I
did figure it out eventually as fpsimd_bind_state_to_cpu uses a more
indirect this_cpu_ptr idiom for tweaking this. I guess a reference to
fpsimd_bind_[task|state]_to_cpu in the comment would have helped my
confusion.

Anyway:
