From: Janet Liu <janet.liu at spreadtrum.com>
If process A is running on CPU 0 and do execve syscall and after sched_exec,
dest_cpu is 0, fpsimd_state.cpu is 0. If at the time Process A get scheduled
out and after some kernel threads running on CPU 0, process A is back in CPU 0,
A's fpsimd_state.cpu is current cpu id "0", and per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state)
points A's fpsimd_state, TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE will be clear, kernel will not
reload the context during it return to userspace. so set the cpu's
fpsimd_last_state to NULL to avoid this.
