Subject: x86/fpu: Optimize fpu__activate_fpstate_read()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ba6b79102a594293c79f30319cabf476c5e300e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

x86/fpu: Optimize fpu__activate_fpstate_read()

fpu__activate_fpstate_read() is used before FPU registers are
read from the fpstate by ptrace and core dumping.

It's not necessary to unlazy non-current child tasks in this case,
since the reading of registers is non-destructive.
