[PATCH] i386: fix broken FP exception handling

Browse source 
The FXSAVE information leak patch introduced a bug in FP exception
handling: it clears FP exceptions only when there are already
none outstanding.  Mikael Pettersson reported that causes problems
with the Erlang runtime and has tested this fix.
