x86/fpu: Don't abuse FPU in kernel threads if use_eager_fpu()
AFAICS, there is no reason why kernel threads should have FPU context even if use_eager_fpu() == T. Now that interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() does not check __thread_has_fpu() in the use_eager_fpu() case, we can remove the init_fpu() code from eager_fpu_init() and change flush_thread() called by do_execve() to initialize FPU. Note: of course, the change in flush_thread() is horrible and must be cleanuped. We need the new helper, and flush_thread() should return the error if init_fpu() fails.
