Currently all fpu accessors are wedded to task_struct.  However kvm also uses
the fpu in a different context.  Introduce an FPU API, and replace the
current uses with the new API.

While this patchset is oriented towards deeper changes, as a first step it
simlifies xsave for kvm.

v3:
	use u8 instead of bool in asm to avoid bad code generation on older
        gccs.

v2:
	eliminate useless padding in use_xsave() by using a larger instruction
