x86/fpu: Simplify and speed up fpu__copy() 

fpu__copy() has a preempt_disable()/enable() pair, which it had to do to
be able to atomically unlazy the current task when doing an FNSAVE.

But we don't unlazy tasks anymore, we always do direct saves/restores of
FPU context.

So remove both the unnecessary critical section, and update the comments.

@ -206,22 +206,13 @@ int fpu__copy(struct fpu *dst_fpu, struct fpu *src_fpu)
* Save current FPU registers directly into the child
* FPU context, without any memory-to-memory copying.
*
* We have to do all this with preemption disabled,
* mostly because of the FNSAVE case, because in that
* case we must not allow preemption in the window
* between the FNSAVE and us marking the context lazy.
*
* It shouldn't be an issue as even FNSAVE is plenty
* fast in terms of critical section length.
* ( The function 'fails' in the FNSAVE case, which destroys
* register contents so we have to copy them back. )
