The following diff against tip/master fixes the bug. Note: we *could* check
'use_xsave()' instead of 'state_size > offsetof(struct xregs_state, header)',
but that might be confusing in the case where we couldn't find the xstate
information in the memory layout and only copy the fxregs_state, since then we'd
actually be validating the xsave_header which was already there, which shouldn't
ever fail.
