x86/fpu: Check if shadow stack is active for ssp_get()

The shadow stack regset ->set() handler (ssp_set()) checks the regset
->active() handler (ssp_active()) to verify that shadow stack is active.  When
shadow stack is active, the XFEATURE_CET_USER xfeature will not be in the init
state because there is at least one bit set (SHSTK_EN). So ssp_set() should be
able to safely operate on the xfeature in the xsave buffer after checking
ssp_active(). If it finds it is in the init state anyway, it warns because an
unexpected situation has been encountered.

But ssp_get(), the regset_get() handler, doesn't check ssp_active(). This
was under the assumption that all the callers check the ->active()
handler. It is indeed normally the case, but Christina Schimpe reports that
and a warning like the following can be generated:

  WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1773 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c:198 ssp_get+0x89/0xa0
  [...]
  Call Trace:

  ? do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x90
  arch_ptrace+0x102/0x300
  [...]

It turns out the PTRACE_GETREGSET path does not check ssp_active(). The issue
could be fixed by just removing the warning, but it would be nicer to rely
on a check of ssp_active() which is much easier to reason about than xsave
init state logic. So add a ssp_active() check in ssp_get() like there already
is in ssp_set().
