selftests/x86/amx: Add context switch test
XSAVE state is thread-local. The kernel switches between thread state at context switch time. Generally, running a selftest for a while will naturally expose it to some context switching and and will test the XSAVE code. Instead of just hoping that the tests get context-switched at random times, force context-switches on purpose. Spawn off a few userspace threads and force context-switches between them. Ensure that the kernel correctly context switches each thread's unique AMX state. [ dhansen: bunches of cleanups ] Signed-off-by: Chang S.
