This needs to go into 2.6.25. Thanks.

This bug is introduced by the recent i387 merge.

Current usage of unlazy_fpu() in ptrace specific routines is wrong. unlazy_fpu()
will not init fpu if the task never used math. So the ptrace calls
can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases.

Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the task
never used math before.
