x64, fpu: fix possible FPU leakage in error conditions

What do you think? restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions. While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e21f1 ("x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn"). Post commit 92d140e21f1, live FPU registers may not belong to this process at this error scenario. In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the 64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong and can leak the FPU data. For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a SIGSEGV for badframe). For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state.
