This looks sketchy and incomplete. I haven't looked at the gory details of
fpu_user_cfg vs. fpu_kernel_cfg, but the rest of this function uses fpu_user_cfg,
including a check on fpu_user_cfg.default_size. That makes me think that changing
just the allocation size isn't quite right.

/* Leave xfd to 0 (the reset value defined by spec) */
__fpstate_reset(fpstate, 0);
fpstate_init_user(fpstate);
fpstate->is_valloc = true;
fpstate->is_guest = true;

gfpu->fpstate = fpstate;
gfpu->xfeatures = fpu_user_cfg.default_features;
gfpu->perm = fpu_user_cfg.default_features;

/*
* KVM sets the FP+SSE bits in the XSAVE header when copying FPU state
* to userspace, even when XSAVE is unsupported, so that restoring FPU
* state on a different CPU that does support XSAVE can cleanly load
* the incoming state using its natural XSAVE. In other words, KVM's
* uABI size may be larger than this host's default size. Conversely,
* the default size should never be larger than KVM's base uABI size;
* all features that can expand the uABI size must be opt-in.
*/
gfpu->uabi_size = sizeof(struct kvm_xsave);
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(fpu_user_cfg.default_size > gfpu->uabi_size))
gfpu->uabi_size = fpu_user_cfg.default_size;
