i387: support lazy restore of FPU state

This makes us recognize when we try to restore FPU state that matches
what we already have in the FPU on this CPU, and avoids the restore
entirely if so.

To do this, we add two new data fields:

 - a percpu 'fpu_owner_task' variable that gets written any time we
   update the "has_fpu" field, and thus acts as a kind of back-pointer
   to the task that owns the CPU.  The exception is when we save the FPU
   state as part of a context switch - if the save can keep the FPU
   state around, we leave the 'fpu_owner_task' variable pointing at the
   task whose FP state still remains on the CPU.

 - a per-thread 'last_cpu' field, that indicates which CPU that thread
   used its FPU on last.  We update this on every context switch
   (writing an invalid CPU number if the last context switch didn't
   leave the FPU in a lazily usable state), so we know that *that*
   thread has done nothing else with the FPU since.

These two fields together can be used when next switching back to the
task to see if the CPU still matches: if 'fpu_owner_task' matches the
task we are switching to, we know that no other task (or kernel FPU
usage) touched the FPU on this CPU in the meantime, and if the current
CPU number matches the 'last_cpu' field, we know that this thread did no
other FP work on any other CPU, so the FPU state on the CPU must match
what was saved on last context switch.

In that case, we can avoid the 'f[x]rstor' entirely, and just clear the
CR0.TS bit.
