CVE-2022-50425

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

x86/fpu: Fix copy_xstate_to_uabi() to copy init states correctly

When an extended state component is not present in fpstate, but in init
state, the function copies from init_fpstate via copy_feature().

But, dynamic states are not present in init_fpstate because of all-zeros
init states. Then retrieving them from init_fpstate will explode like this:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

Adjust the 'mask' to zero out the userspace buffer for the features that
are not available both from fpstate and from init_fpstate.

The dynamic features depend on the compacted XSAVE format. Ensure it is
enabled before reading XCOMP_BV in init_fpstate.
