[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 18/21] x86/fpu: Don't set TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD for PF_IO_WORKER threads

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit cb3ea4b7671b7cfbac3ee609976b790aebd0bbda ]

We don't set it on PF_KTHREAD threads as they never return to userspace,
and PF_IO_WORKER threads are identical in that regard. As they keep
running in the kernel until they die, skip setting the FPU flag on them.

More of a cosmetic thing that was found while debugging and
issue and pondering why the FPU flag is set on these threads.
