x86: Eliminate TS_XSAVE
The fpu code currently uses current->thread_info->status & TS_XSAVE as
a way to distinguish between XSAVE capable processors and older processors.
The decision is not really task specific; instead we use the task status to
avoid a global memory reference - the value should be the same across all
threads.
Eliminate this tie-in into the task structure by using an alternative
instruction keyed off the XSAVE cpu feature; this results in shorter and
faster code, without introducing a global memory reference.
[ hpa: in the future, this probably should use an asm jmp ]
