x86, xsave: save/restore the extended state context in sigframe

On cpu's supporting xsave/xrstor, fpstate pointer in the sigcontext, will
include the extended state information along with fpstate information. Presence
of extended state information is indicated by the presence
of FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 at fpstate.sw_reserved.magic1 and FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2
at fpstate + (fpstate.sw_reserved.extended_size - FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2_SIZE).

Extended feature bit mask that is saved in the memory layout is represented
by the fpstate.sw_reserved.xstate_bv

For RT signal frames, UC_FP_XSTATE in the uc_flags also indicate the
presence of extended state information in the sigcontext's fpstate
pointer.
