x86/fpu: Optimize fpu__save()
So fpu__save() does this currently:
copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(fpu);
if (!use_eager_fpu())
fpregs_deactivate(fpu);
... which deactivates the FPU on lazy switching systems unconditionally.
Both usecases of fpu__save() use this function to save the
FPU state into a fpstate: fork()/clone() and math error signal handling.
The unconditional disabling of FPU registers in the lazy switching
case is probably a mistaken conversion of old FNSAVE code (that had
to disable FPU registers).
So speed up this code by only disabling FPU registers when absolutely
necessary: when indicated by the copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() return
code:
if (!copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(fpu))
fpregs_deactivate(fpu);
