The function copy_kernel_to_xregs_err() uses XRSTOR which can work with standard or compacted format without supervisor xstates. However, when supervisor xstates are present, XRSTORS must be used. Fix it by using XRSTORS when supervisor state handling is enabled. I also considered if there were additional cases where XRSTOR might be mistakenly called instead of XRSTORS. There are only three XRSTOR sites in the kernel: 1. copy_kernel_to_xregs_booting(), already switches between XRSTOR and XRSTORS based on X86_FEATURE_XSAVES. 2. copy_user_to_xregs(), which *needs* XRSTOR because it is copying from userspace and must never copy supervisor state with XRSTORS. 3. copy_kernel_to_xregs_err() mistakenly used XRSTOR only. Fix it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
