[PATCH 17/27] x86/fpu: Always store the registers in copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

From: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>

copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() stores the registers directly to user space.
This is okay because the FPU register are valid and saving it directly
avoids saving it into kernel memory and making a copy.
However… We can't keep doing this if we are going to restore the FPU
registers on the return to userland. It is possible that the FPU
registers will be invalidated in the middle of the save operation and
this should be done with disabled preemption / BH.

Save the FPU registers to task's FPU struct and copy them to the user
memory later on.

This code is extracted from an earlier version of the patchset while
there still was lazy-FPU on x86.
