$ git grep trace_x86_fpu_activate_state

all 23 patches applied. Grepping the later patches doesn't give
trace_x86_fpu_activate_state() either.

Well, then the naming still needs adjusting.

"trace_x86_fpu_activate_state" reads to me like the state is being
activated here, at the call site. And fpregs_mark_activate() marks which
*fpu is the active one.

Hmm.
