x86/fpu: Defer FPU state load until return to userspace

Defer loading of FPU state until return to userspace. This gives
the kernel the potential to skip loading FPU state for tasks that
stay in kernel mode, or for tasks that end up with repeated
invocations of kernel_fpu_begin() & kernel_fpu_end().

The fpregs_lock/unlock() section ensures that the registers remain
unchanged. Otherwise a context switch or a bottom half could save the
registers to its FPU context and the processor's FPU registers would
became random if modified at the same time.

KVM swaps the host/guest registers on entry/exit path. This flow has
been kept as is. First it ensures that the registers are loaded and then
saves the current (host) state before it loads the guest's registers. The
swap is done at the very end with disabled interrupts so it should not
change anymore before theg guest is entered. The read/save version seems
to be cheaper compared to memcpy() in a micro benchmark.

Each thread gets TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD set as part of fork() / fpu__copy().
For kernel threads, this flag gets never cleared which avoids saving /
restoring the FPU state for kernel threads and during in-kernel usage of
the FPU registers.

   bp: Correct and update commit message and fix checkpatch warnings.
   s/register/registers/ where it is used in plural.
   minor comment corrections.
   remove unused trace_x86_fpu_activate_state() TP.
