x86/fpu: Track AVX-512 usage of tasks

User space tools which do automated task placement need information
about AVX-512 usage of tasks, because AVX-512 usage could cause core
turbo frequency drop and impact the running task on the sibling CPU.

The XSAVE hardware structure has bits that indicate when valid state
is present in registers unique to AVX-512 use.  Use these bits to
indicate when AVX-512 has been in use and add per-task AVX-512 state
timestamp tracking to context switch.

Well-written AVX-512 applications are expected to clear the AVX-512
state when not actively using AVX-512 registers, so the tracking
mechanism is imprecise and can theoretically miss AVX-512 usage during
context switch. But it has been measured to be precise enough to be
useful under real-world workloads like tensorflow and linpack.

If higher precision is required, suggest user space tools to use the
PMU-based mechanisms in combination.
