[ Upstream commit 5d3b81d4d8520efe888536b6906dc10fd1a228a8 ]
The init_task instance of struct task_struct is statically allocated and may not contain the full FP state for userspace. As such, limit the copy to the valid area of both init_task and 'dst' and ensure all memory is initialized.
Note that the FP state is only needed for userspace, and as such it is entirely reasonable for init_task to not contain parts of it.
