x86/fpu: Improve xstate_fault() handling
There are two problems with xstate_fault handling:
- The xstate_fault() macro takes an argument, but that's
propagated into the assembly named label as well. This
is technically correct currently but might result in
failures if anytime a more complex argument is used.
So use a separate '_err' name instead for the label.
- All the xstate_fault() using functions have an error
variable named 'err', which is an output variable to
the asm() they are using. The problem is, it's not always
set by the asm(), in which case the compiler might
optimize out its initialization, so that the C variable
'err' might become corrupted after the asm() - confusing
anyone who tries to take advantage of this variable
after the asm(). Mark it an input variable as well.
This is a latent bug currently, but an upcoming debug
patch will make use of 'err'.
