Backports that remove FPU lazy-mode deadcode for 4.9.y

Backports that remove FPU lazy-mode deadcode for 4.9.y

[Daniel Sangorrin]

Hello Greg,

Please consider this backport for 4.9.y. It completes the removal
of FPU lazy-mode code, documentation and comments.

[PATCH v3 4.9] x86/fpu: Remove use_eager_fpu()

After applying the patch, please do the following:
	- cherry-pick: 3913cc350757 ("x86/fpu: Remove struct fpu::counter")
	- revert: f09a7b0eead7 ("perf: sync up x86/.../cpufeatures.h")
		- Because the modification in this patch actually belongs to e63650840e8b ("x86/fpu: Finish excising 'eagerfpu'")
	- cherry-pick: e63650840e8b ("x86/fpu: Finish excising 'eagerfpu'")

Thanks,
Daniel

[PATCH v3 4.9] x86/fpu: Remove use_eager_fpu()

[Daniel Sangorrin]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit c592b57347069abfc0dcad3b3a302cf882602597 upstream

This removes all the obvious code paths that depend on lazy FPU mode.
It shouldn't change the generated code at all.

That's a major pain.

Tell me again why we are doing this for the stable trees?  What does
this buy us?  It's nice cleanups sure, but are these going to be needed
for future backports?  Something else?

They are mostly cleanups that complete the series of fpu patches that was merged in stable recently, and a Documentation fix (remove eagerfpu from the kernel parameters). Ben mentioned that the cleanups could help with future backports, but if you prefer we can wait until such future backports do exist.

Thanks,
Daniel

Ok, might as well get this over with now.  All now queued up.
