x86/fpu: Don't export __kernel_fpu_{begin,end}()
There is one user of __kernel_fpu_begin() and before invoking it, it invokes preempt_disable(). So it could invoke kernel_fpu_begin() right away. The 32bit version of arch_efi_call_virt_setup() and arch_efi_call_virt_teardown() does this already. The comment above *kernel_fpu*() claims that before invoking __kernel_fpu_begin() preemption should be disabled and that KVM is a good example of doing it. Well, KVM doesn't do that since commit f775b13eedee2 ("x86,kvm: move qemu/guest FPU switching out to vcpu_run") so it is not an example anymore. With EFI gone as the last user of __kernel_fpu_{begin|end}(), both can be made static and not exported anymore.
