Is this checking the right bitmap?

The 'xsaves' documentation says: "If RFBM[i] = 1, XSTATE_BV[i] is set to
the value of XINUSE[i]". Where "XINUSE denotes the state-component
bitmap corresponding to the init optimization".

So shouldn't this be checking xsave->xsave_hdr.xstate_bv instead of
pcntxt_mask? The will be equal unless the "init optimization" is in play.
