    ARM: vfp: fix vfp_sync_state() · 54cb3dbb

    The more I look at vfp_sync_state(), the more I believe it's trying
    to do its job in a really obscure way.
    
    Essentially, last_VFP_context[] tracks who owns the state in the VFP
    hardware.  If last_VFP_context[] is the context for the thread which
    we're interested in, then the VFP hardware has context which is not
    saved in the software state - so we need to bring the software state
    up to date.
    
    If last_VFP_context[] is for some other thread, we really don't care
    what state the VFP hardware is in; it doesn't contain any information
    pertinent to the thread we're trying to deal with - so don't touch
    the hardware.
