x86/fpu: Optimize fpu_copy() some more on lazy switching systems
The current fpu_copy() code on lazy switching CPUs always saves
into the current fpstate and then copies it over into the child
context:
preempt_disable();
if (!copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(src_fpu))
fpregs_deactivate(src_fpu);
preempt_enable();
memcpy(&dst_fpu->state, &src_fpu->state, xstate_size);
That memcpy() can be avoided on all lazy switching setups except
really old FNSAVE-only systems: change fpu_copy() to directly save
into the child context, for both the lazy and the eager context
switching case.
Note that we still have to do a memcpy() back into the parent
context in the FNSAVE case, but this won't be executed on the
majority of x86 systems that got built in the last 10 years or so.
