This sentence is strange and not needed.

Those are defined here to be used in only one place -
init_sigframe_size() - where there already is ifdeffery. Just use the
normal sizeof() operator there instead of adding more gunk here.

I guess this can be simplified to:

unsigned long fpu__get_fpstate_sigframe_size(void)
{
        unsigned long ret = xstate_sigframe_size();

        /*
         * This space is needed on (most) 32-bit kernels, or when a 32-bit
         * app is running on a 64-bit kernel. To keep things simple, just
         * assume the worst case and always include space for 'freg_state',
         * even for 64-bit apps on 64-bit kernels. This wastes a bit of
         * space, but keeps the code simple.
         */
        if ((IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) ||
             IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_32)) && use_fxsr())
                ret += sizeof(struct fregs_state);

        return ret;
}

Also, this function simply gives you the xstate size, there's no need
for "sigframe" in the name.
