This revision switches to a new approach by providing a helper to initialize user FPU states for the driver, which is considerably simpler. This approach could serve as an example for addressing similar situations from a non-critical path. I thought fpu_reset_fpregs() as the helper name. There is already one with this name. Then, I realized the existing one is a bit misaligned, so renamed it first here. Thanks to Dave for the reviews and the suggestion.
