math_state_restore() assumes it is called with irqs disabled, but this is not true if the caller is __restore_xstate_sig().
This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user() fails __restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too.

Note: this is the minimal fix for -stable, it is horrible but simple. We need to rewrite math_state_restore(), init_fpu(), and cleanup their users.
