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.
