In order to let kernel/user locate and identify an extension context on
the existing sigframe, we are going to utilize reserved space of fp and
encode the information there. And since the sigcontext has already
preserved a space for fp context w or w/o CONFIG_FPU, we move those
reserved words checking/setting routine back into generic code.
This commit also undone an additional logical change carried by the
refactor commit 007f5c3589
("Refactor FPU code in signal setup/return procedures"). Originally we
did not restore fp context if restoring of gpr have failed. And it was
fine on the other side. In such way the kernel could keep the regfiles
intact, and potentially react at the failing point of restore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
