x86/fpu: Remove fpu->initialized
The struct fpu.initialized member is always set to one for user tasks and zero for kernel tasks. This avoids saving/restoring the FPU registers for kernel threads. The ->initialized = 0 case for user tasks has been removed in previous changes, for instance, by doing an explicit unconditional init at fork() time for FPU-less systems which was otherwise delayed until the emulated opcode. The context switch code (switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish()) can't unconditionally save/restore registers for kernel threads. Not only would it slow down the switch but also load a zeroed xcomp_bv for XSAVES. For kernel_fpu_begin() (+end) the situation is similar: EFI with runtime services uses this before alternatives_patched is true. Which means that this function is used too early and it wasn't the case before. For those two cases, use current->mm to distinguish between user and kernel thread. For kernel_fpu_begin() skip save/restore of the FPU registers. During the context switch into a kernel thread don't do anything. There is no reason to save the FPU state of a kernel thread. The reordering in __switch_to() is important because the current() pointer needs to be valid before switch_fpu_finish() is invoked so ->mm is seen of the new task instead the old one. N.B.: fpu__save() doesn't need to check ->mm because it is called by user tasks only.
