x86/fpu: Rename unlazy_fpu() to fpu__save()
This function is a misnomer on two levels: 1) it doesn't really manipulate TS on modern CPUs anymore, its primary purpose is to save FPU state, used: - when executing fork()/clone(): to copy current FPU state to the child's FPU state. - when handling math exceptions: to generate the math error si_code in the signal frame. 2) even on legacy CPUs it doesn't actually 'unlazy', if then it lazies the FPU state: as a side effect of the old FNSAVE instruction which clears (destroys) FPU state it's necessary to set CR0::TS. So rename it to fpu__save() to better reflect its purpose.
